Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive look into labour organization and working conditions in South Africa during the early 20th century. It begins with an exploration of white labour unions in the skilled trades and then goes on to examine the movement among unskilled white workers, who made up the bulk of the workforce in the mining industry at that time. The author provides an in-depth analysis of white labour unions and offers insights into the challenges of organizing at the time, such as mobility within the workforce, geographical separation, and struggles between different unions to control the pool of available labor. The concluding chapters provide a look at the efforts of individual workers to improve their conditions and wages in the years leading up to World War 1.
