Reflections on Collective Bargaining in Britain and Sweden

British and Swedish collective bargaining patterns have often been cited as models of labor-management deportment, characterized by calm, factual, and reasoned negotiation, oriented to the needs of the national economy and uncomplicated by interunion rivalries and employer individualism. In this critical examination of recent experience in the two countries, the author finds that environmental differences have produced significant differences in the structures, procedures, and results of collective bargaining. Moreover, he finds evidence of a serious interest in American procedures and experience as means of increasing the adaptability of collective bargaining to changing economic and social circumstances in the two countries.
