Employee relations in America

Article Abstract:

US unionism has declined, but many companies have adopted a cooperative joint employee-management approach. In these companies, union members play a constructive role in corporate decision-making, resulting in improved quality, worker productivity, and a more cohesive workforce. Although changes in the private sector sometimes have been slowed by union resistance, this approach has worked particularly well for public sector employers. The US partnership approach, with its increased levels of employee involvement, is likely to affect UK management practices.
