Joe England seeks to explain and assess its achievements over the past thirty years of dramatic change: the rundown of the coal and steel industries, the decline in manufacturing jobs, the growth of white-collar employment and unions, the Thatcher and Major years of high unemployment and industrial law reform, and the increasing numbers of low-paid part-time workers, most of them women.Throughout the period the Wales TUC has negotiated with a succession of Secretaries of State of varying persuasions, consistently promoting the case for investment in jobs and fair treatment for workers. A leading campaigner for a Welsh Assembly it now has to adjust to the demands of that body whilst seeking to halt the decline in trade union membership and promote partnership with industry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Wales Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47892159725719,"sku":"9780708319192","price":416.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780708319192.webp?v=1781185931","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-wales-tuc-1974-2004-devolution-and-industrial-politics-9780708319192","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
