Trade Unionism (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Trade Unionism<br><br>This book does not purport to be a purely elementary treatise. Nor, of course, is it an exhaustive study of Trade Unionism. The compression of so vast a theme into so small a compass is bound to result in many things being left unsaid and in an all too brief treatment of many important subjects. I hope, however, that despite its shortcomings, it may yet succeed in giving the reader a clear idea of what the Trade Union movement is, and in putting him upon inquiry as to what it ought to be.<br><br>I am deeply in the debt of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Webb, not only in common with all the world, for their standard works - The History of Trade Unionism and Industrial Democracy - but also for advice and suggestions in the writing of these pages.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
