ABSTRACT
One of the most interesting and worthwhile developments in public administration during the past year has been the transplanting of the labor-management committee idea from industry to government. Basically, the employee-management committee, as it should be called in government, is nothing dramatically new. It is a combination of the old suggestion-box type of employee suggestion plan and several modern ideas of employee-management cooperation; the latter components have added enough vigor and novelty to an old idea to account for a significant contribution to public service employee relations.
