In order to deal with the intense competition, both from international and domestic sources, there has been a movement among unions and management in the US to create a new cooperative relationship. While the concept of cooperation has taken several forms, one such approach involves labor participation in some phase of the production process through various programs. Their progress up the hierarchy is such that they are more likely to interfere with traditional managerial prerogatives. A questionnaire was sent to the executive in charge of the labor relations function at 213 major US corporations; 93 corporate officials responded. The basic conclusion reached was that management is still very protective of its perceived rights. On almost all issues surveyed, an overwhelming majority of respondents believed that the issue should be determined solely by management.

Plusieurs recherches déjà publiées concluent au haut degré de satisfaction au travail des salariés vieillissants.

Profiles the life and work of Richard Ernest (Lefty) Morgan (1914-1987)—radical political activist, railway engineer, trade unionist, editor, and independent scholar. In the 1930s, he spent time in the BC relief camps for the unemployed and was clubbed by police at the Battle of Ballantyne Pier during the Vancouver Longshoremen's Strike of 1935. An admirer of the Wobblies, he wrote and edited on capitalism, the labour process, and railway operations, with an eye toward work place democracy and workers' control. A longtime member of the Stanley Park Club, Morgan was a member of the Labour Party of Canada (1958-60), then joined the CCF in 1962 and attended the NDP's founding convention, only to become disillusioned. Although a strong trade union activist, he nevertheless believed that unions were subverted by negotiations and capitalist economic requirements. Concludes that Morgan was fundamentally a democrat who believed that individual freedom and democratic decision-making, whether in the work place or elsewhere, were essential to social peace and economic well-being.
