The Socialization of Building Activity
“Another important duty of the union is the organization of a central list of workers for all the branches of the industry. With the demise of the conflict between employer and worker, one also sees the end of the de cades-old struggle concerning the formation of an officially recognized list of workers. From now on the list of workers is a professional organization without bearing on the municipal administration, and is administered inde pendently by the union.
It is not necessary to explain further why the union must also assume responsibility for the management of the funds for professional aid, for collective services, for workers' insurance, for the sick, the invalid and the aged, for disabled veterans, and for the unemployed. If the author also assigns the task of taxation to the union, it is based on the reasoning that the union possesses a complete overview of the possibilities and the earn-ings of the industry and of the workers, and can carry out the taxation in the fairest and simplest manner. In fact, the entire operation of imposing and collecting taxes would be greatly facilitated by the aid of the union. In the future, instead of numerous individual taxations, the construction union would be utilized as the sole authority in the collection of taxes.
The administration of industries of common interest, such as brickyards, gravel quarries, saw mills, lime and cement factories, road construction units etc., is conceived of in such a way as not to involve an autonomous union management. These industries must remain private. The fixing of prices and the marketing of the products should be, however subjected to an overall union control, responsible for maintaining a balanced production.”- Adventures of Avant Garde, Manfredo Tafuri
