Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of Trade Unionism The thirty years that have elapsed since 1890, down to which date we brought the first edition of this book, have been momentous in the history of British Trade Unionism. The Trade Union Movement, which then included scarcely 20 per cent of the adult male manual-working wage-earners, now includes over 60 per cent. Its legal and constitutional status, which was then indefinite and precarious, has now been explicitly defined and embodied in precise and absolutely expressed statutes. Its internal organisation has been, in many cases, officially adopted as part of the machinery of public administration. Most important of all, it has equipped itself with an entirely new political organisation, extending throughout the whole of Great Britain, inspired by large ideas embodied in a comprehensive programme of Social Reconstruction, which has already achieved the position of "His Majesty´s Opposition," and now makes a bid for that of "His Majesty´s Government." So great an advance within a single generation makes the historical account of Trade Union development down to 1920 equivalent to a new book. We have taken the opportunity to revise, and at some points to amplify, our description of the origin and early struggles of Trade Unionism in this country.
