Opis

This work considers the environmental and other reasons for the apparent political inertness of American labour. It shows how the original cautious approach towards political engagement on the part of American labour was changed during the New Deal.

The author analyzes the considerable legislation enacted between 1945 and 1970 and its effect on labour-management-public relations. He looks at their relevance for Britain today, and offers the most complete survey yet available of the operations of American labour as a pressure group.
