Because of the need for greater involvement of workers in changing production systems, as well as frustration with existing structures of workplace regulation, the search has begun for new ways of providing a voice for workers outside the traditional collective bargaining relationship. Works councils-institutionalized bodies for representative communication between an employer and employees in a single workplace-are rare in the Anglo-American world, but are well-established in other industrialized countries. The contributors to this volume survey the history, structure, and functions of works councils in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Poland, Canada, and the United States. Special attention is paid to the relations between works councils and unions and collective bargaining, works councils and management, and the role and interest of governments in works councils. On the basis of extensive comparative data from other Western countries, the book demonstrates powerfully that well-designed works councils may be more effective than labor unions at solving management-labor problems. 410 0$aNBER Comparative labor markets series. 606 $aWorks councils$xCase studies$vCongresses 606 $aComparative industrial relations$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorks councils$xCase studies 615 0$aComparative industrial relations 676 $a331.0112 676 $a338.6 701 $aRogers$b Joel$f1952-$0863414 701 $aStreeck$b Wolfgang$f1946-$0117173 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453976603321 996 $aWorks councils$92088720 997 $aUNINA
