The new barons: Union power in the 1970s

Stephen Mulligan

4.9/5 (24801 ratings)

Description:The power of the trade unions is one of the great political issues in Britain today. An opinion poll taken in 1972 showed that two people out of three believed that the unions have more power than the government to affect the wellbeing of the country. People of all major parties, on the left and right, are deeply concerned at the way in which powerful unions seem able to enforce their will and, if they conflict with the law, to get the law changed.How real is this power? How did the unions acquire it and why did they explode into militancy in the 1970s? Is it true that they are to blame for inflation?Stephen Milligan, a journalist on the Economist, looks at these and other questions in a book which is an essential guide to the British union movement. He examines each of the big unions, its history, orgnisation and leaders. He scrutinises their records in industry and politics, the methods by which they choose their officers and the degree of true democracy prevailing within each union.He also discusses why our propblems cannot be solved by any simple means, such as legal restraint or monetary control. More hopefully, he looks at the possibility of a systematic incomes policy steadily maintained over a long period. He has, however, strong and controversial views about the conflicts we may have to pass through before we can achieve the balance of power on which any sane policy depends.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
