Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history, present state, and potential future of trade unions in the United Kingdom. It begins by analyzing the legal landscape that has shaped unions since the late 18th century, highlighting key statutes and legal decisions that have defined their rights and responsibilities. The author provides a thorough examination of the 1871 and 1876 Trade Union Acts, which granted unions legal protections and the ability to sue and be sued, as well as the significant 1901 Taff Vale case, which established that unions could be held liable for damages caused by their actions. The book further explores the impact of the Royal Commission on Trade Disputes and Trade Combinations in 1903 and various other inquiries that have sought to strike a balance between protecting workers' rights and preventing abuse of power by unions. The author also considers the contrasting views of judges, union leaders, and politicians on the appropriate balance between immunity and accountability for trade union actions. Ultimately, the book offers a nuanced and comprehensive analysis of the legal framework governing trade unions in the UK, providing valuable insights for readers interested in the history, current challenges, and future direction of the trade union movement.
