In reviewing major issues concerning the history of British trade unions in the last two-thirds of the twentieth century, this book discusses many controversial aspects of trade unions. It includes their economic impact (a cause of higher unemployment and lower productivity?) and their influence on government (unelected partners?). The book provides students with an accessible introduction to the recent history of British trade unionism.

"...an ideal introductory text for students or academics, or indeed for anyone wanting to find out about British trade union history. Chris Wrigley's lucid book, with its extensive references, will make it easy for anyone to enter into the debates about these changes and decide for themselves what to make of the British trade union movement since 1933."
