Many people believe that industrial relations have been
transformed. For some, current developments are the result of new
human resource management techniques which have overcome
adversarial workplace traditions. For others, old attitudes remain,
their expression stifled by vigorous competition in product and
labour markets. Willing Slaves? explores these competing claims. It
shows that managers have come to question past approaches to
employee relations. Nowadays they believe that 'winning workers'
hearts and minds' is a crucial part of successful management.
Equally, however, managers have not yet found ways to make their
new ideas work well. Workers continue to place little trust in
management, inefficient working practices persist, and attempts to
build a 'new industrial relations' have fallen short of the mark.
Willing Slaves? concludes by arguing that the best way forward is
for organisations to commit themselves to long term labour
relations policies which enable workers to participate in
management decision-making.
