Product Quality Improvement through Employee Participation: The Effects of Unionization and Joint Union-Management Administration.

Cooke, William N.

Industrial and Labor Relations Review, v46 n1 p119-34 Oct 1992

Data from two surveys of manufacturers (325 of 650 responded) suggest that those with quality improvement programs jointly administered by labor and management achieve significantly greater improvements than those with no programs. Those with programs administered solely by management fared no better than those with no programs. (Author/SK)
