This is the complete collection of six paperback volumes on the history of the Transport & General Workers' Union (now called UNITE), from 1880 to 2010. The history of the TGWU is the core of this collection, with a significant emphasis on the union's regions, as well as several key themes, such as equality, internationalism, the wider labour movement, and its attitude to the conflict between capital and labour.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'These books are to be recommended for their fresh approach, their clear potential for worker education and discussion and - despite the inevitable 'forward march' approach as in all trade union commissioned histories - a willingness to be, from a Unite's perspective, self-critical and questioning. As Sharon Graham states, 'if we are to avoid the mistakes of the past it is of course essential that we understand and learn from it'. These volume are designed to assist in that learning process.'
Francis Devine, Irish Labour History Society
