JOINT CONSULTATION
Management And Worker In the past the worker had not been regarded as an ' idividual with a personality, but the modern trend was towards participation by the worker in the control of industry, said Mrs A. K. Blakey, of the WEA, in an address on the place of joint consultation in industrial relations last night. Works councils provided a meeting ground for consultations between management and workers, and if properly organised, could widen the field of the workers’ interest in industry by exchanges of views on matters such as the firm’s policy, low production, and high labour turnover. By treating workers as responsible adults in this manner, the workers could be educated out of apathy towards co-operation. There were 15 people present.
