Labor-management cooperative committees in Britain's electricity supply industry.
In the April 1958 issue of the "Review," Marvin Frankel advanced the thesis (in "Joint Industrial Planning in Great Britain") that the British Labour party's postwar effort to establish top-level tripartite development councils in nonnationalized industries has largely failed. In contrast, the authors of this article argue persuasively that the system of labor-management cooperative committees established by law at all levels of the nationalized electricity supply industry in Great Britain has achieved very promising results. Drawing upon their personal experience with this system as well as upon data concerning the measurable aspects of these joint committees, the authors emphasize the speed with which local committees in particular have transferred their attention from welfare and grievance activities to complex problems affecting the industry's efficiency.
