Lessons from Three Years of Assisting Union Management Quality of Working Life Programs

摘要

The Northeast Labor Management Center was set up in the fall of 1975 as a non-profit free standing corporation under the name Massachusetts Quality of Working Life Center. It is guided and directed by a Board of leaders from business, organized labor, government and universities. This report is based on experience in providing technical assistance and consulting to two municipal Quality of Working Life (QWL) programs in Arlington and Cambridge (plus a third in Newton supported by a different funding source), and a private industry program in an apparel factory in Springfield, Massachusetts.
