Abstract
This paper makes a case for
workers participation in management.
The paper traces the
subtle beginnings of worker participation
schemes across the
globe and brings out the concept
as it has evolved in the present
days. While a nationwide experiment
on schemes of worker participation
becomes a failure, the
paper presents the case of a firm
where such schemes have been
a huge success. The paper also
covers aspects of trade union
functioning in the firm that has
a bearing on these participative
arrangements. The study brings
out the degree of support and
perceptions of the workers regarding
various schemes of participation
in the firm and the dispute
settlement mechanism employed
by the trade union.
