Beskrivning

It is no secret that corporate America is in trouble,as are labour unions,and a principal reason is our archaic system of labour-management relations, which excludes labour from participating in, and sharing responsibility for, the growth and profitability of the enterprises for which it works. In a book sure to arouse controversy in both management and labour circles, Barry and Irving Bluestone propose a new Enterprise Compact under which labour becomes co-responsible with management for all strategic business decisions,pricing, investment, plant location, and more.
