This is the story of struggles against management regimes in the
car industry in Britain from the period after the Second World War
until the contemporary regime of lean production. Told from the
viewpoint of the workers, the book chronicles how workers responded
to a variety of management and union strategies, from piece rate
working, through measured day work, and eventually to lean
production beginning in the late 1980s. The book focuses on two
companies, Vauxhall-GM and Rover/BMW, and how they developed their
aroaches to managing labour relations. Worker responses to these
are intimately tied to changing patterns of exploitation in the
industry. The book highlights the relative success of various forms
of struggle to establish safer and more humane working
environments. The contributors bring together original research
gathered over two decades, plus exclusive surveys of workers in
four automotive final assembly plants over a ten year period.
