The Causes of Industrial Disorder

Meer over het boek

This comparative study explores industrial relations in a British and a German factory, highlighting the contrasting approaches to worker grievances. In the British setting, the absence of government oversight led workers to assertively address pay issues themselves, resulting in disorder. Conversely, the German factory benefits from a cooperative management and works council, which ensures orderly and fair pay structures. The analysis sheds light on the underlying causes of dysfunction in British manufacturing and the effectiveness of collaborative practices in Germany.
