AB  - In recent years it has become clear that joint consultation has not
withered away in British industry but has managed to maintain a
considerable institutional presence. The precise character of
consultation in these companies is rather more difficult to determine.
Drawing on research in a Japanese‐owned electronics factory, with
elaborate machinery for participation as well as a single union,
no‐strike deal, it is concluded that consultation is little more than a
symbol of unitarism. Moreover, other unitarist symbols are also used to
convey the “family” message to the workforce.
