Workers' Control: Another World Is Possible: Arguments from the Institute for Workers' Control

by Kenneth Sidney Coates

"Another World is Possible", the slogan of the World Social Forum, throws into vivid relief the hopes and ideals of a new generation of concerned people. But their aspiration was not newly invented at the great gatherings in Porto Alegre, Seattle or Florence. It had also animated very many people of a previous generation, as this collection of writings on workers' control shows. Trade unionists in Britain pursued their hope of a more fulfilling life in the secure knowledge that if they joined together, a better world was indeed possible. Now, a new generation of trade unionists, internationally, may in turn draw inspiration from the ideas and experiences of those who came together in pursuit of industrial democracy and workers' control.
