This book breaks new ground on a controversial subject in
industrial relations and human resource management -- nonunion
forms of employee representation in the workplace. Practiced in
many different ways, such as joint committees, employee forums, and
plant councils, nonunion methods of employee representation are
spreading rapidly as part of employee involvement and participation
programs. But these employee groups remain highly controversial and
heavily restricted by labor law in the United States because of
their potential abuse in union avoidance. The American approach
stands in sharp contrast to policies in other countries, such as
Canada, Germany and Japan, where nonunion employee representation
is largely unrestricted or even encouraged by law.
In this volume a distinguished, international set of authors
provide an in-depth, balanced analysis and evaluation of this
timely and much-debated topic. They give special emphasis to an
historical assessment of nonunion employee representation, its
practice and performance in modern workplaces, and cross-national
differences in law and public policy. Recent proposals for reform
of American legal treatment of nonunion employee representation are
also carefully considered, and an evaluation and suggested plan of
action are put forward.
