Harnessing cooperation in union–management work A hospital case study shows how a dedicated committee can pursue cooperative problem solving while still handling everyday bargaining concerns. It looks at how a quality-of-work program was launched with union and management collaboration, and how an external process consultant aided the group.

This book examines real interactions, tensions, and steps taken by a union–management committee, including how participants move from suspicion to trust, and how external pressures shape participation. It highlights what helps and what hinders cooperative problem solving in a formal bargaining environment.


  • How a differentiated or shared committee structure affects collaboration between unions and managers

  • The role of trust, communication, and consensus in solving common workplace problems

  • What happens when external events threaten productivity programs or funding support

  • Ways a process consultant can improve group dynamics and outcomes



Ideal for readers of industrial relations, organizational development, and workplace change, who want to understand the practical realities of cooperative problem solving in a formal bargaining setting.
