Item description from seller

Good condition book and DJ not price clipped. 128 pages good and clean with clear print, indexed. Ex library. No stamp sheet. No foxing, no previous names, no inscriptions. 'Although the origin of trade unions is centuries old, modern trade unionism did not begin to take shape until the eighteenth century. Its spread owed much to Britain's growing industrialization after the 1760s. Factory magnates and millowners saw the new combinations of workmen as a deadly foe. For a time parliament outlawed the labour unions. But at last, as the economy prospered, tension eased a little. Employers and unions began to talk to each other, and found that negotiations could sometimes avert industrial strife. By the end of the ninettenth century there were many unions representing both skilled and unskilled workers. Many black and white pictures.
