CODETERMINATION & WORKER PARTICIPATION 6: The organic approach training commentary
Abstract
So far, in our last few issues, we have set out the facts of codetermination and worker participation in management decision‐making. We have made the point that codetermination can come about by two widely different methods: one is the organic method through which codetermination grows naturally from the grass roots situation in any undertaking in response to the needs and wishes of all parties; the other is the imposed legalistic approach which brings about codetermination through the setting up of legally‐required statutory bodies designed to promote it. Of these statutory management organs the two most important are the supervisory board and the works council and we have described and analysed these in detail. We have also made passing reference to the minor management organs in this field. Of these the shareholders' meeting is familiar and‐time‐honoured. Less familiar to British and American readers is the works assembly, particularly that type which meets at three monthly intervals in paid working time. The other minor codetermination organs are the various committees of the works councils and — possibly — the supervisory boards.
