from an industrial correspondent The following extract from Jack Jone's article on the Motor Industry, ~which which appeared in the April issue of the Transport & General Workers'' Union's journal, The Record, is an interesting comment on the extent to which the idea of workers! control is affecting trade unionists at all levels: "Workers Control Now we want to extend the control of motor workers over their own industry by consolidating trade union organisation. The T.G.W.U. played a pioneering role in organising workers in the motor manufacturing industry, and intends to remain as a major force, seeking at the same time to extend closer working with other unions, including the National Union of Vehicle Builders, with whom a number of discussions have taken place recently.
"The background of our talks with other unions is not a 'take-over! but unity of action and strength, Membership for membership's sake is not worth the effort, but in an expanding industry it is necessary to constantly develop the trade union position to control the industry where the members spend such a big part of their lives,"
