The attempt to establish a 'new social contract' between the
Government and the unions, with a view to stabilising the economy
and restraining industrial militancy, emerged as a burning issues
of contemporary British politics during the 1970s. This study
uncovers the roots of this development in the incomes policies of
successive post-war Governments, especially of the 1964 70 Labour
Government, and traces the way in which wage restraint was secured
from the unions, or imposed upon them, in the context of the
attempted registration of the unions within the existing economic
and political order. Professor Panitch concentrates on the crucial
role of the Labour Party and shows how Labour's incomes policies,
and industrial relations generally, have derived less from a
concern with socialist economic planning than from the Party's
'integrative' ideology, its rejection of the concept of class
struggle in favour of affecting a compromise between the different
classes in British society.
