The Development of Industrial Relations in Britain, 19111939: Studies in the Evolution of Collective Bargaining at National and Industry Level

The Development of Industrial Relations in Britain (1973) examines the evolution of the central institution of the British industrial relations system collective bargaining. This book traces changes to collective bargaining, and therefore industrial relations, through the most significant joint attempts made by trade unionists and employers to understand and improve it. These attempts were through the Industrial Council (191113), the Whitley Committee, Report and Scheme (191639), the National Industrial Conference (191921) and the Conference on Industrial Reorganisation and Industrial Relations (19289).
