This book explores the intricate relationship between work rules and productivity in industrial settings, drawing insights from a detailed study of ten unionized paper mills. The author argues that the number of pages in collective bargaining contracts can serve as a proxy for the extent and complexity of work rules, and documents a strong inverse relationship between contract page count and observed productivity. The analysis reveals that productivity tends to decline as the number of contract pages increases, suggesting that excessive work rule regulation can hinder efficient operations. The book also examines the impact of changes in work rules, such as those occurring during contract negotiations or the installation of new machinery. The author finds that periods surrounding these events are often marked by significant productivity disruptions. By incorporating data from a non-union mill, the book further explores the productivity differential between unionized and non-union workplaces and highlights the potential role of work rules in explaining these differences. Through its rigorous analysis and insightful findings, this book sheds light on the complex interplay between work rules, productivity, and industrial performance. It offers valuable insights for managers, union leaders, and policymakers seeking to understand and improve the efficiency of industrial operations.
