DESCRIPTION
ABSTRACT:
The case presents a classic example of the dicey nature of labour-management relations. Labour sentiments at ICI had taken the form of processions, threats to the management personnel and even rumours of setting the plant ablaze. The Director had to decide whether to treat the issue aggressively and dismiss the more prominent subversive labour members, or negotiate. The case allows an analysis of the role of timely cooperation and bargaining.
