ABSTRACT
The control and direction of the lives of the common people have always been to a great extent in the hands of landlords, industrialists and bankers. Workers' control has a many-sided meaning for the working class, and the workers' control movement, with its conferences and publications on all aspects of the struggle, is developing with great force in the labour, trade union and student organisations in Britain. The control of the British people's economy is in the grip of the Stock Exchange. The stupid mistake people make as trade unionists is that they allow themselves to be divided, by believing that any increase in wages by one section of the workers must be at the expense of other workers. The trade unions were created for the purpose of winning more and more of this wealth for the benefit of the working class.
