The issue is topical because of the contemporary shift to a workplace focus in many countries without a corresponding development of infrastructure at the workplace level, and because of the growing ‘representation gap’ as union membership declines. Some commentators have called for the introduction of works councils to address these issues. Other scholars have gone back and examined the experiences with the non-union Employee Representation Plans (ERPs) in Canada and the US. This book will test these claims through examining and comparing the historical record of previous efforts of five countries during a rich period of experimentation between the Wars.Studies in labour history.ManagementEmployee participationCommunication in industrial relationsIndustrial relationsUnited StatesCanadaAustraliaGreat BritainGermanyHistoryAustraliaCanadaColorado Fuel and IronGermanyTrade unionWorks councilManagementEmployee participation.Communication in industrial relations.Industrial relations.Patmore Greg886689MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910476789903321Worker voice1980079UNINA
