The link to 'The Week' is clearly wrong as this magazine was only founded in 1995. I think there was another similarly named newspaper in the 60s but cannot find any information about it. The full name of 'Voice' was 'Voice of the Unions'. |

Line 1:
The '''Institute for Workers' Control''' was founded in 1968 by [[Tony Topham]] and [[Ken Coates]], the latter then a leader of the [[International Marxist Group]] and subsequently professor at the [[University of Nottingham]] and a member of the [[European Parliament]] from 1989 until 1999.
The Institute drew together [[shop stewards]] and militant workers to discuss [[workers' control]] of production. It grew out of the [[Workers' Control Conferences]] organised from 1964 by ''
The Institute won sponsorship from a number of trade union leaders, including [[Hugh Scanlon]]. In the later opinion of the [[International Marxist Group]]'s journal, the Institute over-accommodated to its sponsors and failed to organise its supporters: "only 26 people attended the [[Annual General Meeting|AGM]] in 1970, and affiliation and membership fees have been maintained at a very high level."
