(b) Some companies such as Tanzania Breweries Limited
have branches, each of which may have a substantial
number of employees. In such cases separate
Workers Councils and Executive Committees should
be established comprising of their respective local
personnel. Often it is advisable to form a Super
Workers’ Council comprising of workers represen-
tatives elected by each of the branch councils to
discuss very important matters of company-wide im-
plications with the Headquarters management. One
or two such representatives would make a reasonable
super council, depending on the number of branches
involved. This matter can be agreed upon in con-
sultation with the Labour Division and NUTA.

Since the present form of workers participation 1s new to all
of us in Tanzania, it is necessary that all those involved in its
successful implementation be enlightened as to its real ob-
jectives and practical implications. This implies the in-
troduction of a mass workers education programme for all
the workers to ‘sell’ the idea. This as we have seen above is
the first step before a Workers' Council is established in an
enterprise.

Once the council has been established a more specific and
systematic form of continuing education should be program-
med, starting with members of the Workers’ Council. This
should be done as soon as possible after its formation to
avoid the danger of a false start.

The Programme of Workers Education

The aim should be to establish a permanent programme
aimed at equipping all categories of workers with an adequate
and relevant knowledge to enable them to work and par-
ticipate meaningfully and effectively in their new undertaking,
whether as leaders or otherwise.
