Workers' Participation in the Management of the Agro-Enterprises of the APP

The participation of Nicaraguan workers in the management of pub licly owned enterprises, known as the Area de Propriedad del Pueblo (APP), is one important aspect of the democratization of social life that began with the triumph of the revolution and is transforming the relations of production. This democratization has allowed the organized participa tion of the public in the government and in production, which in turn has changed the distribution of national income, transfering to the popular classes goods and resources that were previously consumed exclusively by a few capitalists. Workers' experiences in management began during the liberation war, when the Somoza family, the military, and owners who supported the regime abandoned their properties in those zones where the National Guard had lost military control.
