It was felt that one of the problems in implementing workers! con'urol in the transport industry was the attitude of the weokors to authority. It would be especiaTky difficult to exnnure discipline cnd security of jobs in the railways, ’ where the unions alread: have nerative control. On the question . of mansgerial functipr, would supervisors be simply experts or would they carry-:out workers! policy Cecisions made by . worker's committees, or vould the workers! take decisions on the shop floor. It is important that the right type of officlals be chosen to make workers! control effective, However, it was felt that workers' control was a most important step towards socialism. The allocation of resources in nunicipal services must be made by city councils. There was no other way. There seemed to be some confusion in the busmen's model in bringing in trade unions at workers! councils level. the Trade Unions should be kept outside this, with their own functions. One difficult decision to take was where officials should. be advisers, and another difficulty was the complexity of the proposed councils.
