- Summary:
- American industry, in meeting the challenge of foreign competition, has experienced a paradoxical change in labor relations. On the one hand, firms have stressed worker involvement and commitment; on the other, firms have cut back on employment by laying off workers to save costs and improve profit. This book analyzes these developments and develops a theory of change that is consistent with these phenomena, stressing the government's need to develop public policies that will deal with displaced workers.
