Fairfield Experiment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fairfield experiment was an experiment in industrial relations carried out at the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, Glasgow during the 1960s. The experiment was agreed by George Brown, the First Secretary in Harold Wilson's cabinet, in 1966. The company was facing closure, but Brown agreed to provide £1 million to enable the Trade Unions, the management and the shareholders to try out new ways of industrial management.[1]
