Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
History of the AWU is a first-hand account of the making of a union
and the makings of a nation. It depicts the industrial and
political struggles of workers in the late 19th century, and
explains the motivations behind the people who forged Australia's
most powerful and enduring blue-collar union. W. G. Spence was not
only an observer of momentous events, he was also a leading
participant in those events. With that in mind, Spence's book is
more than just a record of the circumstances that led to the
creation of the AWU. It is also an expression of the ideals that
inspired the Australian labour movement and a manifesto for future
generations of Australian unionists. With a foreword by Paul Howes,
an introduction by Graham Freudenberg and a biography of Spence by
Professor Nick Dyrenfurth, the updated History of the AWU is
essential reading for everyone interested in how Australia came to
be the country that it is today. Spence's history is the story of
how misery and despair was transformed into hope and progress in
Australia. Paul Howes Those of us who believe that a strong union
movement is vital to the future success of the Australian Labor
Party will welcome this new edition of History of the AWU by
William Guthrie Spence. Graham Freudenberg Spence's histories
blazed a trail for later scholars. Indeed, no serious student of
the labour movement can avoid his giant contribution. Nick
