    Notes: Studies of British-based Japanese manufacturing companies often assume an absence of worker resistance stemming either from high levels of employee commitment or from extensive control systems. This article, based on three case studies of Japanese manufacturing transplants, disputes this assumption, arguing that the control of labour continues to pose a challenge to management

    Small unions and mergers: evidence from two case studies (2005)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Employee relations 27 (2005), S. 340-353 
    Details
    ISSN: 0142-5455

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Purpose - Seeks to investigate decisions by small unions to engage in "transfers of engagement" whereby they are in effect "absorbed" by a larger union. Design/methodology/approach - Uses case study evidence from two small unions in the UK carpet industry. The study is based on interviews with officials who were involved in the merger decisions, and on supporting documentary evidence. Findings - The findings show that small unions have significant bargaining strength in merger negotiations and that they use this power to determine when merger is right for them, with whom they merge, and the terms of their transfer. Research limitations/implications - The case studies rely heavily on evidence from union officials and officers - the authors acknowledge that the attitudes and influence of the wider union membership were beyond the scope of the research. They also propose that it would be valuable to carry out a longitudinal study of the impact of mergers over time. Practical implications - Suggests that the actions and motivations of small unions, and barriers to their merger, need to feature more centrally in explanations of mergers in the UK. Originality/value - The paper shows how structural influences interact with individual and group decisions in merger situations. Also provides a useful survey of the literature on aspects of union mergers.
