11. Employment bureaus must be placed under the control and management
of the Trade Unions, as class organisations acting within the limits of
the whole industrial plan, and in accordance with it.
12. Trade Unions must have the right, upon their own initiative, to
begin legal action against all employers who violate labour contracts
or labour legislation, and also in behalf of any individual worker in
any branch of labour.
13. On all questions relating to Workers’ Control over production,
distribution and employment, the Trade Unions must confer with the
workers of individual establishments through their Factory-Shop
Committees.
14. Matters of employment and discharge, vacations, wage scales,
refusal of work, degree of productivity and skill, reasons for
abrogating agreements, disputes with the administration, and similar
problems of the internal life of the factory, must be settled
exclusively according to the findings of the Factory-Shop Committee,
which has the right to exclude from participation in the discussion any
members of the factory administration.
15. The Factory-Shop Committee forms a commission to control the
supplying of the factory with raw materials, fuel, orders, labour power
and technical staff (including equipment), and all other supplies and
arrangements, and also to assure the factory’s adherence to the general
industrial plan. The factory administration is obliged to surrender to
the organs of Workers’ Control, for their aid and information, all data
concerning the business; to make it possible to verify this data, and
to produce the books of the company upon demand of the Factory-Shop
Committee.
16. Any illegal acts on the part of the administration discovered by
the Factory-Shop Committees, or any suspicion of such illegal acts,
which cannot be investigated or remedied by the workers alone, shall be
referred to the district central organisation of Factory-Shop
Committees charged with the particular branch of labour involved, which
shall discuss the matter with the institutions charged with the
execution of the general industrial plan, and find means to deal with
the matter, even to the extent of confiscating the factory.
17. The union of the Factory-Shop Committees of different concerns must
be accomplished on the basis of the different trades, in order to
facilitate control over the whole branch of industry, so as to come
within the general industrial plan; and so as to create an effective
plan of distribution among the different factories of orders, raw
materials, fuel, technical and labour power; and also to facilitate
cooperation with the Trade Unions, which are organised by trades.
