Synopsis
Excerpt from The Frontier of Control: A Study in British Workshop Politics
The first condition of answering these questions is an impartial survey of the actual facts as they exist today. Mr. Carter Goodrich's book supplies it. He is concerned not with theory, but with practice. His object is not to propound any doc trine, to suggest any reforms or to formulate a judgment as to the merits or demerits of any fea tures in the industrial system. It is simply to ofler the materials without the possession of which these exercises, however exhilarating, are apt to be sterile. He has set himself the question.

The Frontier of Control: A Study in British Workshop Politics (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on workers' demands for control, a clamor heard throughout British industry, as witnessed by the shop stewards' movement and the slide toward nationalization in key sectors like mining and railways. Across the board, organized labor was moving to secure for their members greater power to shape their working lives. But the demand was about more than just wages and working conditions; at its heart was the dignity of the individual worker and the sense that workers as a whole had a right to participate in the governance of their industries. By the time of the Coal Commission in 1919, the shift towards workers' control was in full swing. Though its ultimate success remains to be seen, the book maintains that this demand represents a divergence from the past and a glimpse at British industry's possible future. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
