A History of British Trade Unions Since 1889 by Hugh Armstrong Clegg

This second volume of Hugh Armstrong Clegg's history of British trade unions covers the most eventful years in trade union history. 1911-1933 was a 'heroic age' of industrial unrest which culminated in the General Strike of 1926. It witnesses a cycle of growth and decline in trade union membership without parallel; the construction of a system of industry-wide collective bargaining in place of district agreements; a series of crises in relations between unions and governments; and the emergence of a new philosophy of trade unionism leading to new strategies for the future.
