This article is part of a case study history, from the British auto‐components industry involving a changing workplace regime from the late 1970s through to the 1990s. Employing the concepts of ‘dual commitment’ and ‘incorporation’ we explore, partly through the voices of participants, the process of involvement in that regime. We consider the implications for how trade unions might respond to policies on ‘jointism’, and for management vis‐a‐vis the choices on union involvement or anti union strategies.
