Operational community (National Socialism)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term joint business is in the era of National Socialism frequently used for all workers in a company where executives and entrepreneurs are specifically included. The term was also used in a broader sense to describe the alleged feeling of solidarity between the followers (workforce) and the manager .

The term company association was introduced in 1934 by the law on the order of national work , which entrusted the entrepreneur as the "manager of the company" with the decision in all operational matters, obliged the "followers" to obey unconditionally and abolished the right of co-determination. The operating community was praised as the "preliminary stage of the national community ". In accordance with the National Socialist ideology, foreigners and members of minorities who were viewed as untrustworthy from the outset could not be part of the operating community.
