Abstract
This paper is based on my book, The Fawley Productivity Agreements. I It is therefore mainly a summary of parts of that work, selected and arranged to define some of the problems that management encounters in obtaining the trade unions’ (and their members’) consent to changes in institutionalized working practices. It does not take up the other equally important question, dealt with in the book, of what caused management to display an unusual initiative in labour relations.
