Originally published in 1976, Democracy and Government in European
Trade Unions is a detailed and practical examination of the
organisational structure and internal control of trade unions in 8
Western European countries. It provides an introduction to the
characteristics and styles of trade unionism in Europe. Written at
a time when the international dimension of trade unionism had taken
on a new significance, this comprehensive study explains and
compares fundamental issues of union organisation and
administration. The relationship between individual unions and the
national confederations is described and the internal operation of
unions in the engineering, textile and railway unions of the
various countries examined. This guide to the ways and means of
European trade unionism during the 1970s will be of interest to
students of industrial relations and trade unionists.
Carew presents a lively and clear account of what has largely been
an unknown dimension of the Cold War. In impressive detail, Carew
maps the international programs of the American Federation of
Labour-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) during the
Cold War and its relations with labour organizations abroad, in
addition to providing a summary of the labour situation of a dozen
or more countries including Finland, France, Italy, Germany, Japan,
Greece, and India. American Labour's Cold War Abroad reveals how
the Cold War compelled trade unionists to reflect on the role of
unions in a free society. Yet there was to be no meeting of minds
on this, and at the end of the 1960s the AFL-CIO broke with the
mainstream of the international labour movement to pursue its own
crusade against communism.
