Industrial democracy

Industrial Democracy is an economic arrangement which involves workers making decisions, sharing responsibility and authority in the workplace. Although industrial democracy generally refers to the organization model in which workplaces are run directly by the people who work in them in place of private or state ownership of the means of production, there are also representative forms of industrial democracy. Representative industrial democracy includes decision making structures such as the formation of committees and consultative bodies to facilitate communication between management, unions, and staff.
