How were the governments of Margaret Thatcher and her successors able to tame the unions? In analyzing how an entirely new industrial relations system was constructed after 1979, Howell offers a revisionist history of British trade unionism in the twentieth century. Most scholars regard Britain's industrial relations institutions as the product of a largely laissez faire system of labor relations, punctuated by occasional government interference. Howell, on the other hand, argues that the British state was the prime architect of three distinct systems of industrial relations established in the course of the twentieth century. The book contends that governments used a combination of administrative and judicial action, legislation, and a narrative of crisis to construct new forms of labor relations. Understanding the demise of the unions requires a reinterpretation of how these earlier systems were constructed, and the role of the British government in that process. Meticulously researched, Trade Unions and the State not only sheds new light on one of Thatcher's most significant achievements but also tells us a great deal about the role of the state in industrial relations. 606 $aLabor unions$xGovernment policy$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aIndustrial relations$xGovernment policy$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLabor movement$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aLabor unions$xGovernment policy$xHistory 615 0$aIndustrial relations$xGovernment policy$xHistory 615 0$aLabor movement$xHistory 676 $a331/.0941/0904 686 $a15.70$2bcl 700 $aHowell$b Chris$f1962-$0549274 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778219403321 996 $aTrade unions and the state$93839322 997 $aUNINA
