A Field in Flux chronicles the extraordinary journey of industrial
and labor relations expert Robert McKersie. One of the most
important industrial relations scholars and leaders of our time,
McKersie pioneered the study of labor negotiations, helping to
formulate the concepts of distributive and integrative bargaining
that have served as analytical tools for understanding the
bargaining process more generally. The book provides a window into
McKersie's life and work and its impact on the evolution of labor
and industrial relations. Spanning six decades, the reader learns
about the intersection of labor and the Civil Rights movement, the
watershed moment of the Air Traffic Controller's Strike, his
relationship with George Schultz, the shift from labor relations to
human resource management, and McKersie's role in the seminal cases
(Motorola, GM, Toyota) of the labor movement. A Field in Flux
serves two important functions: it demonstrates how people have
influenced past employment policies and practices when called to
action in critical situations, and it seeks to instill confidence
in those who will be called on to address the big challenges facing
the future of work today and in the years to come. During a time
when the basic values of industrial relations are being challenged
and violated, McKersie argues that the profession must adapt to the
changing world of work and not forget about the value placed on
efficiency, equity, and inclusive employment policies and
practices.
