In the aftermath of World War I, a reform-minded British government, responding to widespread industrial unrest, commissioned a report by the Whitley Committee that recommended the adoption of a new employer-employee relations model. The model, known as Whitleyism, promoted conciliation through joint industrial councils where labor and management would have equal representation. This book examines the application of this model within the British Civil Service, a sector which had also experienced significant unrest and where organized labor was growing. The author argues that Whitleyism was a success in the Civil Service due to the absence of profit-making motives and a shared interest in efficiency between management and staff. The book provides a detailed historical analysis of the development and implementation of Whitleyism within the Civil Service, and highlights the challenges and successes of this innovative approach to labor relations. The author concludes that the Civil Service experience offers valuable insights into the potential for joint control of industry and the constitutional questions that arise in such endeavors.
