Synopsis
Excerpt from American Company Shop Committee Plans: A Digest of Twenty Plans for Employees' Representation
Now that the urgency of extending representative methods to industrial life is more and more widely appreciated, it is encouraging to believe that we may have learned from our political history what mistakes can be avoided, what experiments require no repetition. The present analysis of company plans for the introduction of the principle of representative government into industry reenforces the conclusion that sounder and more rapid progress can be made in the extension of democratic control than would have been possible with out our long political experience.
These Company Shop Committee Plans are especially significant in their recognition of the fact: that the basis of representation must be extended to include the economic interests of the workers by crafts, jobs, departments, shops, industries.
They illustrate a widespread tendency toward decentralization by a carefully defined functional division of responsibility.
