An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool
University Press website and the OAPEN library. This book informs
debates about worker participation in the workplace or worker voice
by analysing comparative historical data relating to these ideas
during the inter-war period in Australia, Canada, Germany, the UK
and the US. The issue is topical because of the contemporary shift
to a workplace focus in many countries without a corresponding
development of infrastructure at the workplace level, and because
of the growing 'representation gap' as union membership declines.
Some commentators have called for the introduction of works
councils to address these issues. Other scholars have gone back and
examined the experiences with the non-union Employee Representation
Plans (ERPs) in Canada and the US. This book will test these claims
through examining and comparing the historical record of previous
efforts of five countries during a rich period of experimentation
between the Wars. In addition to ERPs, the book expands the debate
will by examining union-management co-operation, Whitley works
committees and German works councils.
