Undermining Capitalism: State Ownership and the Dialectic of Control in the British Coal Industry - Hardcover
Synopsis
The miners' strikes of 1972 and 1974 restored to the miners and their unions a key position within the British labour movement. The book is a study of a most important factor in the renewed unity, the National Power Loading Agreement, which imposed a day wage structure on the miners in 1966. A detailed analysis of the ways in which earlier work conventions, wage structures, and social relations affected the agreement, and reviews its consequences. Case studies of the Durham and Nottingham collieries show the unique character of contemporary mining (1984) and the problems of centralized bureaucratic management. The author shows how miners were able to subvert management's attempt to impose measured day work in the industry and to use the loading agreement to their advantage.
