1. In the BritCo case, to what extent would you say that NER forms of employee representation are deep or shallow? 

2. Does a strategy of double-breasting (union and non-union) participation serve managerial or worker interests?

3. Imagine you have been asked for your professional advice and opinion from the BritCo Ireland Board of Directors. They would like you to make a short presentation about the feasibility of a strategy of double-breasting voice in which one or two plants are unionised, and other sites have exclusive non-union employee participation mechanisms. What would you include in the presentation and why? 

 4. Given what has been described at BritCo, should trade unions be worried about the introduction of employee information and consultation regulations? 

5. What implications are there from the BritCo case for the meaning of employee participation?
