British Trade Unions since 1933 by Chris Wrigley
In reviewing major issues concerning the history of British trade unions in the last two-thirds of the twentieth century, this book discusses many controversial aspects of trade unions. It includes their economic impact (a cause of higher unemployment and lower productivity?) and their influence on government (unelected partners?). The book provides students with an accessible introduction to the recent history of British trade unionism.
'… a very clear factual introduction to the topic … The style throughout is judicious and empirical, in the spirit of British industrial relations, using well-marshalled evidence to burst the bubble of political bias or dogmatic economic theory … a very useful historical text …'Labour History Review
Chris Wrigley is Professor of Modern British History and Head of the School of History and Art History at the University of Nottingham.
