Abstract

In September 2022, former students and colleagues of Thomas A. Kochan organized a Festschrift, a “festival of writing,†to honor his impact on Industrial Relations and related fields. The Festschrift generated more than two dozen articles and commentaries in a forthcoming book, as well as the four articles featured here in the ILR Review . These articles include “A Tale of Two Locals,†focused on contrasting responses to the 2019 GM-UAW strike; “The Need for Speed,†focused on the role of employers in immigrant work visa prioritization; “Incentives to Comply with the Minimum Wage,†comparing enforcement in the United States and the United Kingdom; and “Gendered Job Search†focused on gender differences in reservation wages and job applications. The articles highlight the roles of labor, management, and government as actors in an industrial relations system. Together these articles and the additional collection in the forthcoming book exemplify Tom Kochan’s leadership in advancing industrial relations theory, policy, and practice.
