Abstract
Drawing from previous commentaries on developments in Sweden and recent poll data, this article reviews the emergence of the movement for workers' control of companies in Sweden, presents some research findings on its impact, and discusses the implications of the Swedish approach to workplace democracy. Personal interviews and mail surveys among workers in Gothenburg in 1977 and 1980 reveal that the new Codetermination Law has brought a noticeable but not drastic improvement in employees' opportunities to participate in decisions at the workplace. The law's implementation has apparently neither pacified nor radicalized the workforce, and support for further reforms remains strong.
