Dr Alastair Reid (Fellow, Girton College)
Trade Unions and the British Tradition of Pluralism In contrast to the usual assumption that trade unions were the product of capitalism and industrialisation, this talk traces their origins back to the pre-industrial craft guilds. A liberal-pluralist view of trade unions is then outlined, advocating collective organisation and collective bargaining as ends in themselves rather than stepping stones to state-socialism. |
