It is no secret that corporate America is in trouble—as are labor unions—and a principal reason is our archaic system of labor-management relations, which excludes labor from participating in, and sharing responsibility for, the growth and profitability of the enterprises for which it works. In a book sure to arouse controversy in both management and labor circles, Barry and Irving Bluestone propose a new Enterprise Compact under which labor becomes co-responsible with management for all strategic business decisions—pricing, investment, plant location, and more.
