Reviews
deserves to be widely read. It is a work of academic distinction and is informed by an understanding attitude to trade unionism set out in its opening chapter ... provides a radical commentary on the theory of industrial relations and throws new light on the damaging consequences of Thatcher's period of office. * Jim Mortimer, Socialist Campaign Group News, 10, July 2001 *
This book deals very well with the issues which led to the merger of NALGO, NUPE and COHSE - three proud, strong and independent trade unions ... This is not the usual stodge of political anecdote, but a fascinating insight into an important part of our recent industrial struggle. * Ivan Beavis, Morning Star, 9 May 2001 *
If you think this is just another self-congratulatory trade union history, wherein aged ex-activists celebrate their trade union careers, you are mistaken. This is a bit of a cracker ... This book is an appropriate testament to the roles played by oustanding trade unionists * Ivan Beavis, Morning Star, 9 May 2001 *
