First published in 1974, Trade Unions and Society examines the
process by which trade unions sought and achieved recognition in
the three decades after 1850. It shows a parallel process: on the
one hand, trade unionists struggling to attain the indispensable
Victorian virtue, 'respectability', without sacrificing their
essentially protective functions; on the other hand, employers
recognizing the value of an ordered system of industrial relation
in which trade unions could exert discipline and control over their
workers. While this was going on, middle-class radicals (often
themselves employers) continued their attack on aristocratic
domination of political institutions and looked to a 'labour
aristocracy' as allies. The book shows the manner in which, thanks
to their own efforts and those of their indefatigable publicists,
unionists became identified with the respectable elite of the
working class. It deals with a crucial period in the trade union
development but looks at it not merely from the point of view of
the unions, but also that of the employers, politicians, the press,
intellectuals, political economists, giving for the first time a
rounded picture of trade unionism and industrial relations in the
third quarter of the nineteenth century. This book will be of
interest to students of economics and history.
