Summary: The British trade union movement is the oldest in the world. But age has not brought wisdom; on the con trary, its arteries have hardened, and it suffers from a sense of collective irresponsibility. This book analyses the character and extent of the failure. It describes how the TUC, national unions, and local shop stewards work, and how both they and the Government failed to realise the implications of the policies they followed towards each other. The book also analyses the proposed reforms emanating from the Donovan Report, the Government's White Paper 'In Place of Strife', and the Conservative Party's documents, and suggests that virtually all of them are either incorrect or irrelevant, or both. It does not suggest, however, that the problem is intractable; it ends by offering a framework for trade unionism in the 1970s
