This study analyzes the critical factors that have shaped the
character of trade unionism in the Commonwealth Caribbean, as well
as the major challenges that currently confront trade union
practice. Particular emphasis is placed on the sociological
foundations of labor law and the role of the state, in addition to
the shape and contours of future industrial relations practice in
the region. This unique analysis is placed within a theoretical
framework that sheds light on the role of trade unions in a
peripheral capitalist social formation. This approach exposes the
contradictions that characterize trade union practice and defines
the role of the state in an economy that performs a particular
function in the international division of labor. This work compels
a rethinking of some important questions in industrial relations,
including the character and ideological orientation of Caribbean
unions, the nature of and fundamental reasons for state involvement
in industrial relations and how the future of industrial relations
practice may be shaped. The book will be of interest to scholars
and practitioners in industrial relations, labor history and
studies, and the economics of labor.
