Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Outlines of the History of the Modern British Working-Class Movement One of the greatest disabilities from which the Working-Class Movement suffers to-day is a lack of knowledge. "Knowledge is power." It is essential for a physician to know the history and the symptoms of his "case" before he can treat it. So is it also with the social "case." To the man genuinely desirous of assisting himself and his fellows, this book is invaluable. It helps him to get a grip of the history of the Industrial period, and it portrays for him the struggles of the pioneers of the movement of to-day. It pictures the aims and ideals of the earlier stages of the movement, and clearly shows the weakness of some of the methods adopted. To railwaymen especially this little work is not only interesting, but instructive, for are we not attempting to meet the changed methods of control and administration of industry by a newer and more efficient method of organisation for the producers of railway transport? In order to effectually prepare ourselves for offence and defence, we are endeavouring to organise all the workers on the Railways of the United Kingdom in one union - the man who works the train, the man who makes the train, the man who manipulates the various mechanical appliances to aid railway transport, and the man who makes these. In other words, to build an organisation through which the whole of the railway workers may, through their chosen representatives, bargain with their employers.
