Unheard Voices

Library Journal

Marshall, President Carter's Secretary of Labor and an industrial relations authority, contends that the American economy has been weakened by poor economic policies and inefficient management systems. He argues that these flaws arise from failure to take into account workers' concerns (the ``unheard voices''). National economic decisions now being made mostly by conservative economists and financial experts would be improved by organized labor's participation. The American economy could be put back on the track of strong and steady growth with more emphasis on human resource development and technological innovationall of which is needed to compete successfully in international markets.
