| Abstract: | This article examines the "mutual gains" argument that employees benefit when teamworking is introduced alongside employee involvement in problem-solving and within a co-operative industrial relations climate. Contrary to mutual gains expectations, greater job insecurity at this works coerced union branches to accept teamworking agreements containing extensive demanning and a pay increase for fewer employees. Employees peceived greater job security at the other works and by rejecting joint problem-solving with managers, militant union branches protected more jobs and extracted higher payment for teamworking. |
