An excellent book starting from the position that employee participation is about control and influence at work.ã Taking a historical perspective and assessing developments from different actor perspectives (state, employers, employees) the author shows how fashions have waxed and waned as well as situating current narratives in the context of the changing world of work. The author argues that whilst labour market flux is by no means new the pluralist structures that underpinned Western economies are threatened by a number of market-driven directions, restricting the ability of workers to express independent voice. Professor Adrian Wilkinson, Director, Centre for Work, Organisation and Wellbeing, Griffith University, Australiaã

A magisterial review of employee voice and participation, combining deep awareness of long-standing debates with critical analysis of topical issues, such as employee engagement. Professor Hyman highlights the threats to employee voice from market-driven performance management, both here and abroad. An essential text for anyone interested in employee participation. Andrew Pendleton, Professor of Human Resource Management, Durham Business School, UK Drawing on an impressive range of political, management, trade union and employee perspectives, this book addresses employee voice but also pressing employment issues, such as precarious work. Its broad-ranging, reflective view is refreshing and engaging.
