Abstract
A DISTINCTION must be made at the outset between wage drift—the movement of plant‐level earnings away from centrally negotiated rates of pay; and productivity drift—the movement of plant‐level earnings away from plant productivity. In this paper, I focus on the latter, in the belief that if the factors causing earnings movements at plant level were better understood managers would be in a position, if they wished, to do something to control them.
