Abstract
Direct involvement methods are often seen as heralding a new industrialrelations in which employee voice is weaker than in systems based on unions orworks councils. We test this argument through an empirical study across theEuropean operations of 25 multinationals with headquarters in the UK and findthat this is true only when direct voice is used in isolation. Such systems arenot uncommon, but more often direct voice coexists with union and otherrepresentative channels. It is the variability in the relationship between threechannels (direct, representative committee and union) that is significant. Thisconfirms that institutions matter, but we conclude that the subject ofindustrial relations needs to focus more on the interplay between differentvoice mechanisms.
