Worker's Participation & Worker's Control!

Definition:

Worker participation is a system of involvement by workers at all levels, to have a say in the policies and decisions that effect or impact that particular enterprise or business. This method can be further enhanced if workers are offered a STAKE in the organization or company, by acquiring shares or co-ownership. This makes them more inclined to increase production, productivity, and provide REAL and Creative suggestions for it's growth and survival.

In terms of the current financial crisis with General Motors, Ford Motors, and Crylser motor companies. This approach may be the way to go forward in helping these companies come out of the current crisis, and with government help, financial backing, and oversight.

We as a nation today have to re-organize our financial institutions in such a way, that all workers therein should have some stake therein. As for Trade Union Organizations. These worker's representative organizations MUST be allowed to organize, seek new membership, and allowed to petition any undertaking for their recognition. Provided these unions are able to furnish evidence that they have over 90% of the workers expressed acceptance and willingness, to be represented by that union.
