Profit-Sharing and Labour Co-Partnership
Proposal of the Italian Catholic Party
The Bill to establish workers' control in industry, which
was introduced in the Italian Chamber on 9 February, was
accompanied by the texts of the proposals made by the General
Confederation of Labour, the General Confederation of
Industry, and the Italian Confederation of Workers (the
central trade union organisation of the Catholic Party).
The International Labour Office published in a previous
study (*) the texts of the Government Bill and of the proposals
of the General Confederation of Labour and of the employers.
We now publish the text of the Catholic proposal, preceded
by a short account of its origin.
When the Italian Premier, Mr. Giolitti, instituted, in
September 1920, a Joint Commission entrusted with the
drafting of a Bill to introduce workers' control in industry,
the Catholic Party [Partito popolare italiano), finding itself
excluded from this Commission, manifested the greatest
dissatisfaction both in the Chamber and elsewhere. The
party leaders went so far as to threaten to withdraw the
Catholic ministers from the GoA-ernment, which would have
entailed the fall of the Cabinet. The political secretary
of the party, Dom Sturzo, and the Deputy, Mr. Gronchi,
general secretary of the central Catholic trade union
organisation (Confederazione italiana dei lavoratori), had a
long interview with the Premier on 24 September. They
called Mr. Giolitti's attention to the serious impression
produced by the recent Decree, both in party circles and in
the Catholic trade union organisations.
They stated that
in their opinion a legislative solution of the question of workers'
•control could only have been found by giving a very wide

basis to the Joint Commission, so that all classes and all'
important parties might be represented on it.
The Premier said that the Joint Commission was
entrusted merely Avith the task of formulating proposals,
which would be discussed by the Chamber, and that for
the final preparation of the Act he desired the collaboration
of all the political and trade union forces of the country.
The political secretary of the Catholic party replied that
the Catholic Parliamentary group would, nevertheless, present
to the Chamber a counter-proposal for the institution of
trade union control in industry, at the same time as the
Bill to be drafted by the Joint Commission, as the Catholic
party could not accept solutions propounded without theparticipation of its representatives (2).
The Joint Commission, hoAvever, concluded its labours.
on 5 ÏTovember, having found it impossible to reach agreement,
and the employers' and Avorkers' delegations each sent a
proposal to the Premier. The Catholics also drafted a
proposal,Avhich Avas forAvarded to the Premier on 21 January.
Mr. Giolitti promised to submit this to the consultative bodies
at the same time as the proposals of the GoArernment, the
General Conferation of Labour and the General Confederation
of Industry.
The Catholics' proposal is not confined to the introduction
of control, for, according to their programme, control Avithout
profit-sharing Avould be of no A7alue. The Bill, therefore,
includes a detailed scheme for the introduction of profitsharing by the issue of shares to Avorkers. From the text
published beloAV it AVÍU be seen that the Bill confers on
representatives of manual and non-manual Avorkers the
right of control OA*er the management of undertakings and
OArer their administratiA^e and financial operations. These
representatives haAre also the right to sit on the Board of
Directors and on the trade union commissions of control..
At the end of each financial year, after the balance sheet
has been drawn up, profits are to be divided in the folloA\Tingmanner :
Capital shall receiA'e a fair interest fixed by laAv, and
the surplus shall be diAâded betAveen shareholders and Avorkers :
that part of the profits accruing to the workers (by Avorkers.
is meant equally directors and employees) is not paid to them
in cash but is used to buy up shares in the undertaking.
The entire ownership of the undertaking will thus
gradually pass into the hands of the A\rorkers.
This Bill Avas submitted at the same time as the others
to the Supreme Council of Labour and the Parliamentary
Commissions, but the dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies.
on 7 April caused the postponement of decision.

(including trade union control)
proposed by the Italian Confederation of Workers
Article 1 —At the request of at least one-fifth of the staff
employed in an undertaking, the management shall allow
all its staff to be questioned by means of a referendum Avith
individual secret ballot, and if the majority declare in
favour of the introduction of profit-sharing and labour copartnership, the management shall agree to this reform,
which shall be introduced in accordance with the principles
hereinafter enumerated.
Any request for a referendum made by 300 members
of the staff shall be granted. The referendum shall not
be necessary when two-thirds of the staff manifest clearly
that they are in favour of the reform.
All persons who have completed their eighteenth year and
have been working regularly for the undertaking for at least
three months, whether their work is directive, executive, or

entitled to take part in the request for a teferendum or in
the referendum itself.
PROFIT-SHARING UNDERTAKINGS

A.—Joint Stock Companies
Principle of Division of Profits between Capital and Labour
Article 2 — I n joint stock companies with labour copartnership, the net profits which remain at the end of the
financial year, after the current legal interest to paid-up
share capital has been allotted, and after the statutory and
customary deductions and allocations to the reserve fund
have been made, shall be divided between the paid-up share
capital and labour, whether administrative or executive
(including manual and non-manual workers of all grades),
in proportion to the actual contribution of each of these
factors to production, and with due regard to the nature of
the undertaking, in accordance with Article 6.
Representation of the Staff by a Worlcs Council
Article 3 — T h e protection of the interests of the staff,
as against those of the share capital, in regard to the
participation of the staff in profits, and in the management
and ownership of undertakings, shall be secured by the election
of a works council. The number of members of the works
1 0

— 4 —

Council shall be 3 for undertakings of the first grade (employing
from 10 to 30 persons), 7 for undertakings of the second grade
(employing from 31 to 100 persons), 15 for undertakings of
the third grade (employing from 101 to 500 persons), and 25
for undertakings of the fourth grade (employing over' 500
persons).
Article 4 — The members of the works council shall be
elected by secret ballot and on the system of proportional representation, by all persons of either sex connected' with the
undertaking who have completed their eighteenth year and are
in full possession of their civil rights.
The two groups of manual workers and non-manual workers
shall be proportionately represented on the works council.
In order to be eligible for election candidates must have
completed their twenty-first year, must be in possession of
their civil rights, and must have been connected with the
undertaking for at least one year.
The Joint

Commission

Article 5 — The works council and the Board of
Directors of the company shall elect a Joint Commission,
which shall fix the proportion to which reference is made in
Article 2. The number of members of each of the parties
on the Joint Commission shall be, in undertakings of the first
grade, two; of the second grade, four; of the third grade, six;
of the fourth grade, eight.
The two parties on the Commission shall nominate a
chairman by common agreement. If they fail to agree, the
chairman shall be nominated by the President of the Tribunal,
or, in his stead, by a Justice of the Peace.
If a member of the Commission become chairman, his
electors shall appoint a new representative to replace him.
The Division

of Profits

Article 6 — The division of the net profits of the undertaking
between capital and labour shall be effected in accordance
with the following formula :
The share assigned to labour shall be to the share assigned
to capital as the sum total of the wages paid during the year
is to the total capital.
Modifications
Article 7 — The Joint Commission instituted in accordance
with Article 5 shall adapt the above formula to the principle
laid down in Article 2. The Commission shall be guided by
the following considerations :
{a) The predominance of wages over capital (in such
undertakings as mining, quarrying, and the like), or the
predominance of capital over wages (for example, in

commercial undertakings), in the economie activities which
are the object of the undertaking.
(ò) The degree of financial risk involved in the conduct
of the undertaking, with due regard to the corresponding
reserve funds (Articles 2 and 8).
(c) Neither of the two factors in production, capital or
labour, shall receive more than 25 per cent, of the profits : any
eventual excess in the share of one factor shall be added to
that of the other. Should both shares exceed 25 per cent.,
the excess profits shall be utilised for the benefit of the
community, either by reducing the selling price of the
products, or by investing in new installations when these are
deemed to be of obvious social utility, or for any other
purpose which may be considered, by at least two-thirds of
the members of the Joint Commission, more effective and more
profitable to the community.
Functions of the Joint Commission
Article 8 — The Joint Commission shall be competent to
decide as to the utilisation of profits which have become
available for industrial or commercial purposes (expansion of
business, new installations, etc). It shall also be called upon
to decide in any disputes arising from the separation of
the commercial from the industrial management of the
undertaking,' Avhenever one of the two groups raises a dispute on this subject : if one of the two groups considers itself
aggrieved by the decision of the Joint Commission, it may
appeal for arbitration to the Council of Industry (Article 29
et seq.), whose decision shall be final.
Issue of Shares to Individual Workers— Fractions of Shares
Article 9 — That part of the profits of the undertaking
which is allotted annually to labour shall be distributed,
according to the provisions of the following Article, among the
members of the staff of the undertaking—manual workers,
non-manual workers, technical and administrative staff— in
proportion to the total wage or salary received by them
(including cost of living and other bonuses).
Any person who has been employed by the undertaking
for at least six months, and has accepted the labour agreement
in force between the class organisations concerned, where
such organisations exist, shall be deemed to form part of the
staff.
With a view to facilitating distribution the labour shares
shall be divided into " fractions " of 5 lire each.
Article 10 — Shares and fractions of shares t shall be distributed and allotted (Article 9) directly to each* member of
the staff; two-thirds of the amount due shall be paid in
securities of the undertaking, in accordance with the
8 *

1 0

— 6 —

provisions established by the Joint Commission.
The
remaining third may be paid in cash by agreement with
the workers' organisations concerned.
The fractions of shares shall be transferred to the worker
concerned as soon as they are paid up.
As the shares are paid up they shall become the private
property of the member of the staff to whom they are allotted.
They shall, however, be deposited with the Works Council,
along with the profit-sharing account of the member of the
staff concerned.
Nature of the Labour Shares and Fractions of Shares
Article 11—Labour shares and fractions of shares shall
be personal, inalienable, and not distrainable.
Subject to the consent of the works council and the
Board of Directors, to be given in each individual case, and
according to the regulations drawn up by these bodies, they
may be transferred to another member of the staff.
Procedure in case of Death, Departure, or Dismissal
Article 1 2 — I n case of death, of voluntary departure of
a shareholder from the undertaking (for reasons other than
those provided in the following Article), or of dismissal for
reasons recognised as justifiable by the competent
representatives of the parties, and in case of dispute by the
Joint Commission, the worker's shares and fractions of shares
shall be redeemed by the works council.
If the works council does not exercise this right, the
Board of Directors may do so.
Speculation in Labour Shares
Article 13 — If it is proved, or if there is reason to believe,
that the holder of shares or of fractions of shares has left the
undertaking, or has caused himself to be dismissed, with the
intention of profiting by the value of the shares or fractions
of shares belonging to him for the sake of gain or for
speculative purposes, the works council, or, in its stead,
the Board of Directors, when redeeming such shares or fractions of shares, shall deduct from 20% to 75% of their value.
This deduction shall not take place when the member of
the staff is ill, or over 60 years of age, or when he is compelled
for serious reasons to change his place of residence, or if he
has become indigent for reasons over which he has no control.
Encouragement of Thrift
t
Article 14 — Any member of the staff may at any time
arrange that a part of his wage, salary, profits, or other remuneration (the amount to be fixed by himself) shall be paid into his

profit-sharing account : he may also pay into his account
sums in cash, which shall bear interest, on the conditions and
within the limits fixed by the Joint Commission.
Labour Shares and Capital Shares
Article 15—Labour shares redeemed or paid up shall
•carry the same rights, dividends, etc. as capital shares, unless
it is expressly stipulated to the contrary.
The fractions of shares or parts of shares which cannot be,
distributed among members of the staff, and those Avhich do
not confer upon the holder the right of direct representation,
shall be represented at the general meeting and for all purposes
by the works council.
Labour shares, which, according to the general rules of
the company, entitle the holder to direct representation or
representation by delegate at the general meeting, shall be
treated in the same way as capital shares.
Labour shareholders, therefore, as well as capital
shareholders, shall be eligible for election to the Ararious
•offices : Board of Directors, Board of Auditors (sindaci),
'Committee of Counsel probiviri), etc.
First Stage of Labour Representation on Board of Directors
and Board of Auditors (sindaci)
Article 16 — So long as the representation of labour shares
•on the Board of Directors, the Board of Auditors, and other
statutory organs of the company does not equal one-third
of the representation of the capital shares, the Board of
Directors, the Board of Auditors, and other bodies shall
include representatives of the workers nominated by the
works council, whose rights and obligations shall be the
same as those of other members. The number of these
representatives shall not as a rule beless than tAVO on the Board
of Directors and one on the other bodies, nor shall it exceed
one-third of the total number of members of such bodies.
In case of dispute, the number of representatÌATes shall be
fixed by the Joint Commission.
To this minimum number of representatÌATes ¡¡¡hall be
added annually the representatÌAfes elected by the ordinary
organs of the company (general meeting, Board of Directors,
-etc.) or of the undertaking.
When the number of
representatiA-es thus elected is one-third of the number of
representatiA-es of the capital shares, these representatives
•shall take the place of the original representatives nominated
by the works council ; subject to the condition, however,
that the representation of labour shall not at any stage
of the proceeding decrease, but shall at least maintain its
•original number during the period necessary for the
.substitution to take place.

Redemption of Capital Shares
Article 17—As the accumulation of profits creates, in
each financial year, new labour shares or fractions of shares,
a number of capital shares corresponding in value to the
total of such labour shares shall be redeemed at par.
The capital shares to be redeemed shall be taken in the
first place from the the largest holdings; in case of equality
in the value of holdings the shares to be redeemed shall be
chosen by lot. The Joint Commission may at any time
buy out certain shareholders, and may redeem shares below
par Avhen the shares have fallen considerably in value.
In view of the necessity of preventing speculation, shares
shall not be redeemed above par, i. e., above the price at
which they were bought by the holder, which price shall
be indicated on the certificates.
Privileged Shares
Article 18 — If a particular capital shareholder has.
rendered special services to the undertaking or to a branch
of the industry to which the undertaking belongs, and if"
he desires to retain his interest in the undertaking, the Joint
Commission may, in agreement with the Board of Directors,
exempt his " privileged shares " wholly or partially from
redemption.
If a holder of capital shares regularly performs directive
or executive functions in the undertaking, his capital shares
may be considered by the Joint Commission wholly or
partially as labour shares, and he may be remunerated for
his work in proportion to the function he performs and subject
to the same general conditions as those relating to thewages.
or salary of the staff of the undertaking.
Operation of the System after the Buying
up of the Capital Shares
Article 19 — When all capital shares have been bought
up, the net profits of the undertaking, after the deduction
of the 'statutory amount reserved for the labour shares
(including any privileged shares), shall be divided amongst
the members of the staff in proportion to their respective
wages or salaries.
Article 20 — Labour shares or fractions of shares (Article
2 et seq.), as well as the net profits (Article 18), shall be
distributed amongst the staff of the undertaking classified
in wage or salary groups, in a proportion such that the ratio
between the amount received by the members of the lower
grades and that of the members of the higher grades of thestaff shall not be greater than the ratio of one to five.

— 9 —
Artide 21—When the undertaking has become a labour
co-operative society, as provided in Article 18, the Board

union, and the council of industry concerned, shall adopt
the system of management best adapted to the new form
of organisation.

When any one of the industries classed under " various "
•desires to form a Council of Industry, it may do so, with the
•consent of the two Confederations.
Each Council of Industry shall elect a chairman by
agreement between the parties; if the chairman elected is a
member of the Council of Industry, another representative
«hall be elected in his place.
Article 30 — It shall be the duty of the Council of Industry
t o draft and interpret the general regulations necessary for
•the introduction of profit-sharing and labour co-partnership,
•

— l i on the basis of the provisions contained in the preceding
Articles of the present Act, and for introducing and maintaining
in each branch of industry justice, prosperity, and industrial
peace.
The functions of the councils of industry shall include
the following :—
(1) To draft, discuss, conclude, interpret, and revise
agreements for the regulation of the profit-sharing system;
(2) to fix rules concerning the relations between the
works councils, the joint commissions, the trade unions and
•confederations;
,
(3) to fix minimum, wages and the prices of products;
(4) to decide any cases of appeals, requests, and disputes
•originating in the joint commissions or the trade union organisations ;
(5) to exercise technical and administrative control in

undertakings or labour co-operative societies, and particularly
those operating under specially favoured conditions, shall not
accumulate excessive products or profits to the prejudice of the
•consumers, or an excessive number of labour shares for the
benefit of a few persons, thus tending not to restrict or
abolish capitalist exploitation and the wage system, but to
perpetuate them by depriving the producers of the benefits
of profit-sharing and labour co-partnership.
When all or the great majority of undertakings have been
transformed by means of the ' new scheme, the councils of
industry will automatically become more and more highly
developed organs of co-operation between the various classes
of producers, in the same way as the joint commissions
within the individual undertakings.
