Fashion victim
Article Abstract:
The UK construction industry is facing a time of sole searching and inner contemplation, although it would be better to concentrate on the positive aspects of the industry and its workforce. The management theories of labour force has converted workers into a form of client rather than an essential part of the industry. People management is the best way to improve the industry at a time when more credence is paid to technique than substance.

No merit in meddling
Article Abstract:
A future Labour government in the UK should take care to interfere as little as possible with the construction industry. It should give its attention to creating a positive business atmosphere in which construction companies will be able to gain contracts. It would also be advisable to allow inflation to rise to 34%, as this would create more favourable business conditions for the construction industry.
