Collision Course
Description
When workers at Eastern Airlines were asked to accept deep wage cuts, unions came up with a bold counter-proposal that gave employees both a 25 percent ownership stake and an unprecedented say in corporate decisions. It was the most profound change in labor-management relations ever seen in any major American company, and the results were overwhelmingly positive. Yet when competitive pressures re-emerged, the innovative agreement was pulled apart by the very people who had put it together. This program traces the dramatic rise and fall of the "workplace cooperation" initiative at Eastern Airlines, providing a case study of the dos, donts, and maybes of this innovative idea.
