Reshaping Labour (eBook, ePUB)

Organisation, Work and Politics

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1988. This is a grass-roots study of a key period in the building of Labour's political and industrial base. It is a study of how unions and Labour were organised and motivated to seize their moments of destiny - and of how a new political industrial movement was limited by the common-sense of the age in which it was born.
