Synopsis:

The book analyzes how the Trades Union Congress came to dominate the education of British trade unionists in the twentieth century. In a detailed study of what was taught and learned, and how, the author shows how strategy was formed in the 1960s and how the TUC shaped the field in the 1970s, securing government funding and legal rights to paid time off work for students, even during the Thatcher era.
