To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Industrial relations -- the decentralized locus of labor-management adjustments, and the laissez-faire approach of the government -- need to change as necessary (but not sufficient) preconditions to the broader application of the developments discussed above. Put differently, local unions and managements need the support of their national counterparts and of the government, in their efforts to adjust. It will be difficult for many employers to make the necessary changes. To begin with, top corp...orate executives will have to commit their firms to long term business strategies capable of maintaining employment in the US, rather than taking advantage of lower labor costs in other countries. Firms that do so will need to re-educate their managers to think of unions as institutions that (among other things) contribute to the productive process. The historical aversion to unions among US managers will render this shift in outlook and strategy difficult. Indeed, all indications are that the current level of anti-unionism is more intense than it has been at any other time since the Great Depression.
