Industrial democracy
Sir, —The Business Roundtable agrees that the employer/ employee relationship should be based on mutual interdependance and co-operation, so logically they should support moves towards industrial democracy. Indeed, if they were genuinely treating their workers in a spirit of interdependance and cooperation, they would have consulted their workers before writing their report on the issue. It seems their ideas about cooperation are similar to those embodied in the 1923 Italian Constitution written by Mussolini. There are many types of industrial democracy, and a wide range of businesses in Spain, West Germany, the Netherlands, the United States, and Japan have successfully implemented one or other form of it. In Sweden, it is abnormal not to practise industrial democracy.— Yours, etc., JOHN RING. June 14, 1989.
