THE INSTITUTE, a nonprofit research organization, was established on July 1, 1945. It is an activity of the W. E. Upjohn Unemployment Trustee Corporation, which was formed in 1932 to administer a fund set aside by the late Dr. W. E. Upjohn for the purpose of carrying on "research into the causes and effects of unemployment and measures for the alleviation of unemployment."

Acknowledgments
Many acknowledgments are due. First, I must thank the hundreds of plant managers, local union officers, and company executives who responded to my surveys. Although I am sure they anticipated seeing the results of these inquiries much earlier, nonetheless I hope what they find herein will be of timely value. Without the excellent research assistance of Lynn Cooke and Melinda Laubscher, the data might never have been collected and assimilated. John Zalusky (AFL-CIO) provided valuable assistance in soliciting responses to my survey of local union officers.
Dave Meyer (University of Akron) provided essential assistance in pulling together diverse secondary data sources and became a coauthor of analyses of company headquarters data, a cooperative effort that has led to richer analyses than could have been accomplished otherwise. Long hours of spirited discussion and debate with Sue Schurman (University of Michigan) about union-management relations have undeniably shaped many points of view expressed in the study. Although I won't hold her accountable for any views expressed, neither do I want to minimize her contribution.
Lynn Cooke (r & i associates), Jack Fiorito (University of Iowa), Doug Fraser (Wayne State University), Allan Hunt (Upjohn Institute for Employment Research), John Stepp (Bill Usery and Associates), and George Strauss (University of California, Berkeley) provided valuable criticism and comment at various stages of this research project. Joan Walker patiently kept retyping and replotting diagrams and charts as the chapters went through what must have appeared as endless revisions.
Finally, through a wide range of labor and management workshops and conferences, I have received valuable and extensive comment from hundreds of managers and union officers. I thank them for helping me look more realistically into the black boxes of empirical research and for their unrelenting insistance on making the reporting of research more accessible and meaningful to those searching for answers in an especially challenging era.
