Geoffrey H. Manning and Haydon R. Manning present a rigorous and authoritative account of how bank workers organised collectively to secure fair wages, improved conditions, and professional recognition over the course of the twentieth century. Drawing on archival research and institutional records, the authors illustrate the broader tensions between capital and labour that shaped not only the banking industry but the wider Australian industrial relations landscape. Written with scholarly precision yet accessible in tone, the narrative argues that the achievements won by banking employees were hard-fought milestones that reflect the enduring importance of organised labour in shaping workplace rights. This is an essential read for students of Australian history, labour studies, and anyone with an interest in the social and economic forces that have defined working life in South Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826083147995,"sku":"2026770001026-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f5876633-9b76-41db-aea2-d46cb9831393.png?v=1780312294","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001026-secondhand-worth-fighting-for-work-and-industrial-relations-in-the-banking-industry-in-south-australia","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
