"Industrial Unrest - A Way Out"

Seebohm Rowntree laid out his father’s and his own approach to worker welfare in his pamphlet Industrial Unrest: A Way Out recommending five key areas that would identify and remove the legitimate causes of unrest if appropriate action was taken: ” (1) – We must so organise industry that it will become possible to pay all workers of normal ability wages that will at least enable them to live in reasonable comfort; (2) – Their working hours must be such as will give them adequate opportunities for recreation and self expression; (3) – Measures must be taken to materially to increase their economic security, notably with regard to unemployment; (4) – They must have a share in determining the conditions under which they shall work; and (5) – They must have a direct interest in the prosperity of the industry in which they are engaged.”
