Worker Empowerment

A critical examination of experiences with and obstacles to employee ownersip and control of the workplace, the book begins with a broad-based argument, not only for why workplace democracy is desirable but also why the time is ripe for its rapid expansion. The next section, "Workplace Democracy at Work," shows how extensive worker participation (and especially worker ownership and control) is today through chapters on the world-famous Mondragon cooperative complex in Spain and on recent developments in the United States, Western Europe, and the Third World. This is followed by "Birthing Workplace Democracy," which explores some of the practical problems of initiating and expanding worker ownership and control and how they have been addressed through case studies of actual experience in the U.S. and Canada. --- from book's back cover
