Both employers and unions read worker-participation research through their fixed interests.

Evidence

This was the inevitable, solemn, polished way of thinking and speech-making characteristic of a senior manager and employers’ representative. This way of appropriating the research was just as much to be expected as were protests from the trade unions against a study which provided evidence that there was no great interest among workers for worker participation. The Institute’s directors tried to take the sting out of reactions of this sort through a small press campaign. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 2085
