abstract = {This paper analyzes the workers’ committees as the main instrument of control over the whole social-economical activity in Communist Romania. As the representatives of the working masses, these gatherings of employees (industrial, agricultural and commercial workers, engineers, desk clerks, teachers etc.) shared the decision-power with hierarchical appointed managers and directors. After the 1969 political decision of accelerating Socialist Romania’s economic and social development, the workers’ committee shared also the responsibility in implementing the five-year plans. Although they lacked real power, the workers’ committee soon became another instrument of control over ordinary people, by disposing of the distribution over assets and services (houses, holidays, cars).
