A propos de cet article

Sold as a multi-volume set the individual volumes are also available for purchase.This is volume 1 of six accessible volumes covering UNITEs history from 1880-2010. The history of the TGWU is the core of this collection, with a significant emphasis on the unions regions, as well as several key themes, such as equality, internationalism, the wider labour movement, and its attitude to the conflict between capital and labour.This first volume (1880-1931) covers the formation of the TGWU. It was rooted in an era in which, starting in the 1880s, a mass trade union movement was formed. The drive to amalgamate the unions was spearheaded by Ernest Bevin and resulted in the creation of the TGWU, 1920-22 - a period which witnessed an intensification of pre and post WW1 militancy. Such militancy continued, albeit unevenly until 1926 and was met with resistance from employers and the State culminating in the mighty confrontation of the General Strike. Politically the union had a close relationship with the Labour Party and its two minority Governments (1923-4 and 1929-31). The defeat of 1926 marked a watershed in British labour history in which, again, the TGWU played a key role. Trade union militancy was succeeded by an attempt at negotiated accommodation with the employers, known as Mondism. Bevin was central to this development. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
