Abstract

This detailed 1996 study contributes to an expanding field of interest: the social history of industrial employers. Using previously untapped primary sources, Organised Capital explores the emergence of employers' organisations in northern England and analyses their policies during the heyday of collective activity. Arthur McIvor evaluates the impact of trade unionism, state intervention, war, economic recession and changing product markets on these organisations, charting their role and patterns of growth. He challenges notions of a monolithic employer group and crude economic determinism, while also rejecting 'revisionist' accounts of weak and ineffective employers. Instead, he reaches a more balanced appraisal of these institutions' role in capital-labour relations and the pursuit of employers' class interests. This book will be of interest both to historians and to students of industrial relations.

Abstract

Le syndicalisme peut-il se contenter de relayer la contestation des salariés ? Doit-il au contraire accompagner une "modernisation" souvent synonyme de licenciement en laissant au patronat et aux dirigeants le soin d'en définir le contenu ? Ce livre brise un tabou en examinant une autre voie : celle d'un syndicalisme du troisième type qui remet en cause le contenu de la "modernisation" et propose d'autres choix de gestion dans les entreprises. Cette option, loin d'être une chimère, est déjà une réalité dans les pratiques syndicales de nombreuses entreprises racontées et analysées dans cet ouvrage : les syndicats de Thomson proposent des solutions novatrices pour reconvertir les technologies de l'armement à des fins civiles, des ouvrières du textile imaginent un plan de développement de leur entreprise menacée de faillite, des syndicalistes de la santé s'investissent pour lier des embauches à une meilleure qualité des soins... Dans une passionnante rétrospective historique, ce livre révèle également une tradition syndicale d'intervention dans la gestion entrant en débat avec ceux qui, au nom de la "pureté révolutionnaire", préfèrent rester entre eux pour briser la tutelle de la classe dominante. Fort de ce détour historique, d'une analyse détaillée des innovations syndicales actuelles, cet ouvrage enrichira les pratiques et les réflexions de ceux qui cherchent des alternatives face aux prétentions universelles de l'économie libérale.

Abstract

There have been dramatic shifts in the behaviour of labour markets and the conduct of industrial relations in the last century. This volume explores these changes in the context of four very different societies: Germany, Sweden, Britain and Japan. However, despite their manifest differences, the author demonstrates that for long periods their labour markets were similar in many crucial respects. The book discusses: * the failure of neo-corporatism in Britain in the 1970's and the subsequent rise of Thatcherism; * the rise of Japan as a model for orderly industrial relations in the 1970
