Additional Description

Biographical / Historical

The Industrial Co-partnership Association was founded in 1884 as the 'Labour Association for Promoting Co-operative Production based on the Co-partnership of the Workers' (known as the Labour Association). In 1901 it became the 'Labour Co-partnership Association'; in 1928 the 'Industrial Co-partnership Association'; and in 1972 the 'Industrial Participation Association'. It took its present name - 'The Involvement and Participation Association' (IPA) - in 1989. The association was incorporated in 1950. Despite its Labour roots, the Conservatives were supportive of its aims in the 1950s.
