The focus of this book is the process of unionization in the road
haulage industry, in particular, the role of leadership in
determining the quality of union organization. It analyzes the
early history of road haulage unions, the creation of the TGWU, the
failure to organize the industry during the 1930s and the
consequent reliance upon statutory regulation of wages and
conditions, and the subsequent institutional stasis of the TGWU
during the 1950s. The transformation and expansion of union
organization during the period of 1963-1973, conceived as the
mobilization of collective power by workers within the employment
relationship, is explored in case studies of TGWU branches in
Birmingham, Liverpool and London, and within the wider context of
TGWU. The retrenchment of union organization as a result of
recession and Conservative government legislation, 1980-1994, is
explored. The book concludes with an assessment of theories of
unionization and democracy, and the role of leadership, with
reference to the historical development of British trade unionism.
