It is no secret that corporate America is in trouble,as are labour unions,and a principal reason is our archaic system of labour-management relations, which excludes labour from participating in, and sharing responsibility for, the growth and profitability of the enterprises for which it works. In a book sure to arouse controversy in both management and labour circles, Barry and Irving Bluestone propose a new Enterprise Compact under which labour becomes co-responsible with management for all strategic business decisions,pricing, investment, plant location, and more.
Barry Bluestone is Frank L. Boyden Professor of Political Economy at the University of Massachusetts at Boston and Senior Fellow at the John W. McCormack Institute of Public Affairs. He is the co-author (with Bennett Harrison) of The Deindustrialization of America and The Great U-Turn.Irving Bluestone is University Professor of labour Studies at Wayne State University. He retired in 1980 as vice president of the United Auto Workers' Union (UAW) and as director of its General Motors Department.
