Industrial Protest and the Law
A History of British Trade Unionism
This introductory course will examine the state’s legal response to trade unions and the struggles of working people from 1750 to the present day, placing industrial protest and the changing law in their economic, social and political context.
The course will look at early attempts to form trade unions during the period of illegality from the 18th century to the early 19th century, the formation of mass unions from the end of 19th century, and the use of the courts by employers to frustrate industrial action. It will also survey the changing fortunes of the trade union movement during the 20th century, when from the 1960s an apparent ‘right’ to strike was challenged by successive governments, resulting in the current legal restrictions introduced in the 1980s and 1990s.
Women and Health & Safety
This course is for all reps who would like an opportunity to look at women’s health and safety issues in the workplace
It will run for 3 consecutive Tuesdays; 1st, 8th and 15th November 2011, 9.30a.m – 4.30p.m
