Description

"This new history of British trade unionism offers the most concise and up-to-date account of 300 years of trade union development, from the earliest documented attempts at collective action by working people in the eighteenth century through to the very different world of 'New Unionism' and 'New Labour'." "This comprehensive study provides a readable introduction to the history of what are still the largest and most significant voluntary organisations in Britain."--BOOK JACKET.
