Abstract
The expression “industrial democracy” was first used in the United Kingdom by Sydney and Beatrice Webb in 1891 in a book they wrote on collective bargaining and trade unions. They were then thinking of “industrial democracy” as a bargain between employers and trade unions, in other words, collective bargaining, per se and not worker participation in its modern sense.
