The relationship between the British trade union movement and political organizations and activity, notably the Labour Party, is a subject of continuing controversy and interest. New legislation, based on the Conservative election manifesto, promises to make far-reaching changes in this relationship. This book, written by two people with a long involvement in and support for the trade union movement, puts the links between trade unions and the Labour Party, the state of trade union political contributions and the scope of the changing relationship between the unions - the effects both of economic conditions on collective bargaining and the weakening of trade union organization in a number of ways, and of measures taken by the government aimed at changing the unions' practices and their political status.
