| Abstract: | The mechanisms by which voice is provided to employees vary widely. Mandated voice systems, which are common in Western European nations, include works councils, codetermination, and legislated protection against unjust dismissal. Voluntary voice systems, which are common in the USA, include unionism, accompained by collective bargaining and grievance procedures, and non-union grievance-like dispute resolution procedures. Economic arguments about employee voice are summarized. The underlying rationale in adopting an explicit employee voice mechanism is described and discussed. Suggestions on how to choose among the explicit voice mechanisms are made. |
