Abstract

This paper uses a dignity lens to examine the collapse of a major US corporation. The company was experiencing a significant breakdown in its relationships with its unions, creating hostility, unrest and mistrust among its employees. The paper describes the assessement and dignity intervention that was used to repair the broken relationships between management and its unions and to heal the “culture of indignity” that was fueling the conflicts.
