Traxler, Franz

Employee participation and involvement: Experiences of aerospace and automobile workers in the UK and Italy created by Franz Traxler, Bernd Brandl, - European journal of industrial relations Volume 16, number 1 .

It examines workers’ experiences in the automobile and aerospace sectors in Italy and the UK.
