ABSTRACT
What follows is a familiar story, but looked at from a different angle. It’s a story of two mighty forces struggling with each other. It’s a drama that continues to the present day. On one side are employers, intent on controlling their workers. On the other side are individual employees with a strong desire for more rewarding, happier lives at work. This tension between ‘power from above’ and ‘power from below’ will need to be resolved in the twentyfirst century.
