It discusses the essential components of contemporary British trade unionism internal democracy, white collar unions, shop floor organisations, their political role and relations with the state and compares them to foreign unions to present the growth and development of unions in the late twentieth century.
Since the first edition was published in 1982 the position of unions has changed significantly. New legislation and a declining industrial sector, combined with an increase in jobs in the service industries, have affected the membership and power of unions. Foreign companies have brought with them foreign work practices which stand to change the conduct of industrial relations challenging management attitudes as much as those of the unions. Throughout,
Michael Jackson's book takes account of these developments analysing their effect on every major aspect of trade union structure and practice.
Clear and concise, Trade Unions is an excellent guide to the nature of unions and the issues that face them. For undergraduate social science students and anyone studying, or with an interest in, trade unions this book will prove invaluable reading)
