This book critically examines the development of ideas and practice surrounding employee voice and employee participation. It tracks the story from the earliest attempts at securing worker control, through to the rise of trade unions, and today’s managerial efforts to contain union influence and implement initiatives to engage employees in order to gain competitive advantage. The book also offers a rich comparative perspective by looking at employee participation in EU countries and emerging economies such as China and India.

Employee Voice and Participation will be an excellent supplementary text for advanced students of employment relations and HRM, and will also be a valuable read for researchers, policy makers, trade unions and HRM professionals.
