Partnership and the High Performance Workplace

Work and Employment Relations in the Aerospace Industry

By: Andy Danford,Mike Richardson,Paul Stewart,Stephanie Tailby,Martin Upchurch

The promotion of workplace partnership in the high performance workplace has become central to policy debates on the 'modernization' of employment relations in British industry. This book provides critical insights into the dynamics of partnership by way of in-depth case studies of employee experience in an under-researched industry noted for its high concentrations of skilled workers and graduates. Drawing on rich interview and questionnaire data, the authors highlight considerable conflicts of interest in the development of partnership that derive from the competitive capitalist environment in which management strategies operate.

Japanese Management Techniques and British Workers

By: Andy Danford

Analyzing the impact of Japanese-style management techniques such as lean production, teamworking, kaizen (continuous improvement) and business unionism of factory workers, this text investigates different facets of the organization of the labour process and employment relations within 15 Japanese transplants in South Wales. There is an emphasis on the impact of the restructuring of workplace relations on both individual groups of workers and collective labour organization. The text provides an insight into the reality of factory life in the 1990s by incorporating descriptions of shop-floor observations, quantitive data and revealing comments from different grades of shop-floor workers, office workers and management.

The Crisis of Social Democratic Trade Unionism in Western Europe

The Search for Alternatives

By: Martin Upchurch,Graham John Taylor,Andy Mathers

This book outlines a developing crisis of social democratic trade unionism in Western Europe and examines emerging alternatives. The authors define 'social democratic trade unionism' and its associated party-union nexus and explain how this traditional model has been threatened by social democracy's accommodation to neoliberal restructuring and public service reform. The experience of Sweden, Germany, Britain and France is examined and the historical rise and fall of social democratic trade unionism in each country is explored. A further chapter probes the policy and practice of the European Trade Union Confederation. The authors critically examine the possibilities for a revival of social democratic unionism in terms of strategic policy and identity and suggest possibilities for an alternative, radicalised political unionism. The research value of the book is highlighted by its focus on contemporary developments and its authors' intimate knowledge of the chosen countries.

The Future for Planners

Commercialisation, Professionalism and the Public Interest in the UK

By: Ben Clifford,Susannah Gunn,Andy Inch,Abigail Schoneboom,Jason Slade,Malcolm Tait,Geoff Vigar

Spatial planning is at a crossroads, with government reform undermining the traditional vision of state-employed planners making decisions about urban development in a unified public interest. Nearly half of UK planners are now employed in the private sector, with complex inter-relations between the sectors including supplying outsourced services to local authorities struggling with centrally-imposed budget cuts. Drawing on new empirical data from a major research project, ‘Working in the Public Interest’, this book reveals what it’s like to be a UK planner in the early 21st century, and how the profession can fulfil its potential for the benefit of society and the environment.

Intrepid Sailing Around the World

By: Andy Gibb

This is the story of Intrepid’s 7 year voyage of adventure and exploration, not a race or rally. We chose to go to some of the most interesting and remote places in the world, and once there tried to get under the surface of what life is really like in these unique places. We travelled with friends, some experienced, some novices who shared thrilling sails, in violent winds and calms, and learned the meaning of self-sufficiency – when you are 2000 miles from land if something breaks you fix it or it stays broken. And you have to plan for everything from food, water, fuel, medical emergencies, spare parts, communications. This story is written as it happens, with the highs and lows, the excitement and the near misses, and the fascinating people we met. Starting in the Canaries, Intrepid crosses the Atlantic, through the Panama Canal to Galapagos, then remote Marquesas Pacific islands and atolls to Tahiti, Bora Bora, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, historic Indian Andaman Islands, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Oman, Yemen (narrowly avoiding pirates), and up the Red Sea to Turkey. Andy Gibb is a psychologist, Nicky a hydrogeologist, and with friends they describe a voyage of adventure, wildlife and insight.

Sincerely, Andy Rooney

Sincerely, Andy Rooney

By: Andy Rooney

This is an assemblage of Rooney's innumerable and thoughtfully (mostly) sassy (always) letters responding to government and business folk, viewers of 60 Minutes, organizations asking him for a speaking engagement, lawyers, friends, those interested in religious matters, and others. And the letters are arranged into sections according to the type of recipient. Letters that prompted Mr. Rooney's replies are not listed (though Rooney's style allows one to easily understand the original letter's gist). No notes or index, but there seems little need for either. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
