Providing fresh insights from the archival record, Who governs
Britain? revisits the 1970-74 Conservative government to explain
why the Party tried - and failed - to reform the system of
industrial relations. Designed to tackle Britain's strike problem
and perceived disorder in collective bargaining, the Industrial
Relations Act 1971 established a formal legal framework to
counteract trade union power. As the state attempted to disengage
from and 'depoliticise' collective bargaining practices, trade
union leaders and employers were instructed to discipline industry.
In just three-and-a-half years, the Act contributed to a crisis of
the British state as industrial unrest engulfed industry and risked
undermining the rule of law. Warner explores the power dynamics,
strategic errors and industrial battles that destroyed this attempt
to tame trade unions and ultimately brought down a government, and
that shape Conservative attitudes towards trade unions to this day.
