| Cripps, now the Minister Of Aircraft
Production, emphasized the importance
OF the new industrial organization
through Joint Production Committees.
He told the aircraft workers that these
joint bodies are not intended in any
way to supercede the management. 1t
is really Britain's democratic way of
life, he said, which has brought the
Joint Production Committees into exist
ence, and they represent the begin
nings of democracy in the factory.
Trade unionists are on the whole
satisfied with the progress made in
setting up these Joint Production Com
mittees According to statement just
issued by the Trades Union Congress
headquarters, there are now over 2,UOO
large engineering firms in which Joint
Production Committees are already
meeting regularly to discuss ways and
means of securing increased prOduc-
ton in war factories employing nearly
|2,OOO,OOO workers. Several hundred
more committees are in the course of
formation.
Satisfactory progress is also being
made, my colleagues tell men, in de
veloping the Trade Union organization
to assist the Joint Production Commit
tees on the workers side. The TUG,
in conjunction with the Trade Unions
in the engineering trade, have already
set up fifty Trade Union District Pro-
ductiOn Committees in important EN-
!. gineering centers throughout the coun-
try. For the guidance of over 10000
trade uniOnists who are known to be
active members of Joint Production
Committees the TUG. has just pro
duced little handbook in the familiar
form of a Quiz" It's purpose is to
enable the Trade Union members of
these committees to make "a real sue
cess of their efforts towards greater
production as means to victory"
Using Workers Brains
Insisting that these committees are
really necessary and are needed now
more than ever, the TUG. Quiz points
out that on the whole a steady high
level of production gives far better
results in the end than sudden Spurts
which can't be kept up. We've got to
put our brains as we'll as our backs
into the job so as to cut out waste
, waste of energy, waste Of time, waste
of material"
Dealing with the sort of problems
which these Joint Production Commit
that nearly every worked comes cross
, snags which hold up production. Its
the Job of the workers side of the
Joint Works Production Committee to
look into these snags, and to bring
them to the Committee with sugges
ton for overcoming them"
For instance, jigs and tools, says the
, Quiz, are often far to intricate. They
may be perfect from an officetrained
draughtsman's angle, but a practical
man can sometimes assist the draughts-
man to simplify the design. Sometimes
