- Title
The New Management: Is It Legal?
- Authors
Haas, Marsha E.; Philbrick, Jane Haas
- Abstract
This article reviews the statutory and case law dealing with employee committees and examines whether the increasing use of employee participation fits into the legal framework of the United States. The article recommends amending the law to allow legitimate worker participation programs and provide for the expansion of mandatory collective bargaining issues. Caution must be exercised when considering the adoption of any employee participation program. Considering the fact that economic survival in a global economy is at stake, neither management nor unions can afford to be self-serving. For those who believe in the economic necessity of those innovative programs as well as in strong unions, it is imperative to convince Congress and the courts that our laws must be amended or be broadly interpreted so as to adapt to current economic and global realities.
