Labor News From Britdin

LOndon.-Ovcr two thousand formal
ly constituted Joint Production Com
mittees are now I'm operation in the
engineering and allied trades in Bri
tain. by their existence two million
workers in these trades have been
brought into effective contact with
management. The Committees are
meeting regularly, and are dealing
with u great variety of questions af
fecting workshop morale and technical
difficulties impeding maximum prOduc-
tion. Other Joint Production Commit
tees have been established in ship
yards, mines and Royal Ordnance Fac
tories.
The importance of Joint Production
Committees has been emphasized not
only by Rritains Ministers chiefly CON
cerned with the direction of the war
trades but by such bodies as the
Select Committee on National EXpend-
ture, which reports at intervals to the
House of Commons on varied aspects
of the industrial set-up in Britain. Re
Gently this Committee stated its view
that such Joint bodies perform n
/ valuable function in industrial reia-
tiOnS."
> The mere establishment of such q
committee, the report said, formally
procaims the willingness of manage
ment and wOrkpeOple to cooperate, and
when set up it provides a permanent
, channel of communication. Changes
and proposed changes which might
otherwise give rise to friction can be
r explained to the management and
on the other hand, general suggestions
about matters affecting production
!. which could not be suitably put
u through the forement, can be brought
direct to the highest grade of man
;, agement."
, The significance of this development
in Industrial relations derives largely
+ from the fact that these Joint PrOduc
! ton Committees are voluntary in char
y acter. In the engineering and allie(
. trades for instance, they rest upon AZ
agreement between the Federated En-
ployers and the Trade Unions. Under
:, this agreement only those plants EN-
ploying more than $50 wOrkpeopl'
We're called upon to set up Joint Pro
|. duction Committee. But the force o
J, this movement in industry is shown b!
d the fact that several hundred of th'
smaller firms, in addition to the 2,OO'
big ones, have spontaneously eStabl
;, liShed committees, on the model pre-
4 scribed by the agreement between th'
Engineering and Allied Employer
J. Association and the group of Unions il
}, the engineering trades.
