  • Types and Variants in Local Union-Management Relationships

    Milton Derber, W Ellison Chalmers et al.ARTICLEHuman Organization1962

    The concept of the type as a research tool and as a device to stimulate understanding of differences and similarities among individuals, organizations or institutions has long been utilized in every major branch of the social sciences, including the labor relations field. Labor relations students have gained valuable insights from Hoxie's seven functional union types, Selekman's eight varieties of labor relations, Harbison and Coleman's three uni…

  • Union Participation in Plant Decision-Making

    Milton Derber, W Ellison Chalmers et al.ARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…1961Cited by: 1

    In recent years, especially since the 1959 steel strike, there has been active concern about the hardening of labor-management relations. At issue is the definition of the territory of management functions or rights that will remain outside the scope of collective bargaining. Despite the clamor and often self-serving declarations of policy by both unions and managers on this issue, little is known in a systematic way about the extent and depth of…

  • Uniformities and Differences in Local Union-Management Relationships

    Open AccessMilton Derber, W Ellison Chalmers et al.ARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…1957Cited by: 1

    A variety of approaches to the study of union-management relationships--the historical, the case study, and the survey method, to mention several--have been attempted by students of industrial and labor relations. The authors of this article are identified with the first major attempt to extend the case study approach by interdisciplinary research and, particularly, to quantify observations for intensive analysis of the significant variables.

  • The Conciliation Process

    Open AccessW Ellison ChalmersARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…1948

    Although it is impossible to predict the specific action of the conciliator assigned to the case with which this paper began, the process can be defined. This is of considerable importance, because the interests of the parties and of the public are directly affected. The conciliator's course is determined by two basic objectives: (1) to maximize collective bargaining and (2) to maintain the maximum industrial peace. These objectives are applied b…

  • Labor-Management Committees Speed Production

    W Ellison Chalmers, H D Wolf et al.ARTICLEPublic Opinion Quarterly1943Cited by: 1

    LABOR-MANAGEMENT committees are a new departure—a departure stimulated by the pressure for fullest efficiency in the war production effort. Workers are being urged to take an interest in matters which, formerly, were not considered their responsibility. How make the plant efficient? Why not get the workers' view ? Some say that labor-management committees are usurping the prerogatives of management. Mr. Eric Johnston of the United States Chamber …
