Abstract

Feeling trapped between management and workers, many foremen have shown interest in unionizing, and their efforts have forced many observers to think about the difference between workers and managers. The author advises companies to give foremen better training so they can take back some responsibility over production. That training should include instruction in human relations, so foremen could understand what workers want and figure out ways to improve production that workers won''t resist.
