    Quite so. Interesting to analyze employee-ownership effects for unionized employees vs. non-union. Once case in point is United Airlines.

    Hello,
     
    I agree that the control game has to change. One alternative is employee ownership. Employee owned companies tend to outperform the market and to be better places in which to work. The latest research on the performance of employee owned companies can be found at  http://www.esopassociation.org/media/media_stock_market_outperform.asp.
     
    If you want more information on both the performance of such organizations or the quality of work life in these organizations, I would suggest you visit the we sites of the National Center for Employee Ownership, ESOP Asccociation, and ESOP Association Canada.

    For an explanation of the debacle at United Airlines and how a highly unionized airline can succeed that has an ESOP, please read The Southwest Airlines Way by Jody Hoffer Gittell. I have used the CD version of it as supplemental reading in my class on managerial skills.
     
    In this book, employee ownership relationships in two highly unionized airlines, Southwest and United, under analyzed. The rest of the story is what other things were different.
