Overview
First published in 1986, this book assesses the politics of the West German trade unions in the context of their larger role as major actors in the polity. By focusing on the historical realities of the labour movement both before and after 1945, the study explains the extent to which organized labour solidified and challenged the dominant structures of politics and authority. It examines the metalworkersā union, the construction workersā union, the printersā union and the chemical workersā union and shows how the industrial reality of each organisation helped shape its political outlook and strategic thinking.
This book will be of particular interest to students of trade unions, industrial relations and political economy in West Germany.
