  Since 1979 there have been tremendous changes in British industrial relations. Thoroughgoing changes in management and production techniques have coincided with the widespread repeal of employment protection laws and other measures which defend the interests of employees. This volume places the new management techniques - just-in-time-production, labour flexibility, employee involvement, single union deals, teamworking - within the context of the neoliberalism of successive Tory governments. The book provides an accessible guide to the new intitiatives in British management, and discusses the implications for trade unionists in the workplace. It combines factual information with analysis and political comment, in a style which is intended to provoke debate.
