Union Retreat and the Regions : The Shrinking Landscape of Organised Labour, Hardback Book

Union Retreat and the Regions : The Shrinking Landscape of Organised Labour Hardback

Part of the Regions and Cities series

Hardback

Description

Since the beginning of the 1980s, British trade unions have experienced a dramatic retreat, marked by rapidly falling membership and declining industrial power.

The authors examine the regional dimensions of this retreat of organised labour, paying particular attention to: The resilience of the unions' historical heartland areas.

The impact of economic restructuring on local union traditions.

The shrinking landscape of industrial militancy. The geographical decentralization of the new industrial relations.

The link between these factors and the more general debate on regional development and regional labour markets.

An important synthesis of economic geography and industrial relations work, this book marks a major contribution towards the newly emerging field of labour geography
