Bibliography Note:Includes bibliographies.

Note:"In 1980, the Industrial Relations Research Association published an edited volume analyzing collective bargaining in a number of major American industries through the 1970s. Contemporary Collective Bargaining in the Private Sector is a follow-up to that volume consisting of original chapters examining the collective bargaining experience of 12 major industries between 1979 and 1993. This was a particularly eventful period in the history of American labor-management relations that featured two seemingly contrary phenomena--an increase in highly confrontational collective bargaining and the advent of new employee involvement and union-management cooperation programs. Well-written and insightful chapters detail these developments in key industries such as auto, steel, trucking, telecommunications, and construction."-- from a Choice review
