A HISTORY OF BRITISH INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, 1939–1979

Edited by Chris Wrigley

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This authoritative history offers a major assessment of British industrial relations between the outbreak of the Second World War and the advent of Margaret Thatcher’s government in 1979. Written by a group of leading specialists, this outstanding book examines the role of the government, the unions and employers, the influence of social welfare considerations on industrial relations policies and the patterns of strikes. Case studies focus on industrial relations in the docks, the motor manufacturing industry and road haulage between 1945 and 1979.
