Abstract

This article explores the development of partnership-based approaches to industrial relations at the British workplace. Drawing empirically from a unique data set of Manufacturing, Science and Finance Union (MSF) workplace representatives and a workplace case study, the article explores the attitudes and experiences of trade unionists to partnership and assesses the level of support and voice mechanisms open to them in furthering the partnership agenda. The study shows that while MSF representatives appear open to the responsibilities placed upon them in the rhetoric of partnership, there is little evidence to suggest that management has reciprocated.
