What is job control unionism and how does it address the problems associated with management practices stemming from scientific management?
What will be an ideal response?
Job control unionism seeks to protect workers against managerial abuse by tightly controlling the rewards and allocation of jobs through rules and procedures laid out in a union contract. It seeks eliminate managerial subjectivity and favoritism in decision-making criteria and replace it with a more objective criterion; namely, seniority. Detailed work rules govern how work is performed, allocated, and rewarded; how promotions and job assignments will be determined; and how disciplinary may be meted (and on what bases). More broadly, job control unionism seeks to explicitly limit or modify excessive managerial authority that was present under a typical scientific management approach so as to retain control over important workplace decisions.
