Product Description
This collection of essays attempts to demonstrate how an adequate analysis of trade unions, strikes and collective bargaining must be rooted in a broader understanding of their political and economic context. The second part of the book deals with the central problems of trade unionism in the 1980s and the book concludes with an assessment of the prospects for the unions in Thatcher's Britain. Richard Hyman is author of "Strikes" and "Industrial Relations: A Marxist Introduction".
