- Title
THE IMPACT OF UNION-MANAGEMENT COOPERATION ON PRODUCTIVITY AND EMPLOYMENT.
- Authors
Schuster, Michael
- Abstract
This study examines the effects of union-management cooperative programs on productivity and employment. The author collected productivity and employment data for each of nine manufacturing plants at monthly trine intervals over a period of four to five years--from two years before to at least two years after the introduction of the cooperative program. Regression analysis of these time-series data is supplemented by qualitative data from personal interviews and relevant records. The results show that after introduction of the cooperative programs, productivity increased in six of the eight firms in which it could be measured and employment remained stable in eight of the nine firms.
