TL;DR: The authors assesses research on the effects of high-performance systems on employer, worker and union outcomes and concludes that, compared with what has long been thought of as good management practice, claims that these systems yield superior performance outcomes may be unwarranted, and their implications for both workers and unions are at best uncertain.
