Book Description:

This is the first in-depth academic study of the Labour Government's 1969 attempt to introduce industrial relations to curb strikes by trade unions. Using archival sources, this book explains how this attempt provoked strong opposition in the Party, and from the unions, to the extent that it was abandoned in a humiliating climb-down.
