Summary: Waging Industrial Peace in Nigeria contains six chapters, all concerned with various aspects of labor relations and dispute settlement procedures between labor and management. In chapter 1, the author discusses the nature of grievances and emphasizes the importance of in-plant settlement machinery, noting that settling in plant is not only face-saving, but also quicker. In chapter 2, a historical sketch of government involvement (the author objects to "intervention") in trade disputes is provided with copious allusion to Britain, United States, and several developing countries. Chapters 3 and 4 focus on the change from the 1941 law to "no-nonsense" legislation beginning with the Trade Disputes (Emergency Provisions) Decree of 1968, its amendment in 1969, and the Trade Disputes Decree of 1976, which incorporated the earlier decree. In Chapter 5, the author discusses the unionization of management staff, a development that has hitherto received little attention in the literature. The last chapter provides the author's views on such major features of labor relations as joint consultation, forms of industrial action and their costs, and settlement procedures pertaining to different types of disputes.
