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. In addition to ERPs, the book expands the debate will by examining union-management co-operation, Whitley works committees and German works councils. 410 0$aStudies in labour history (Liverpool University Press) ;$v5. 606 $aManagement$xEmployee participation$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01007168 606 $aIndustrial relations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00971609 606 $aCommunication in industrial relations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00870155 606 $aManagement$xEmployee participation$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCommunication in industrial relations$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aIndustrial relations$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aHistory. 615 7$aManagement$xEmployee participation. 615 7$aIndustrial relations. 615 7$aCommunication in industrial relations. 615 0$aManagement$xEmployee participation$xHistory 615 0$aCommunication in industrial relations$xHistory 615 0$aIndustrial relations$xHistory 676 $a331 700 $aPatmore$b Greg$0886689 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136928603321 996 $aWorker voice$91980079 997 $aUNINA
