Sold as a multi-volume set – the individual volumes are also available for purchase. This is volume 1 of six accessible volumes covering UNITE’s history from 1880-2010. The history of the TGWU is the core of this collection, with a significant emphasis on the union’s regions, as well as several key themes, such as equality, internationalism, the wider labour movement, and its attitude to the conflict between capital and labour. This first volume (1880-1931) covers the formation of the TGWU. It was rooted in an era in which, starting in the 1880’s, a mass trade union movement was formed. The drive to amalgamate the unions was spearheaded by Ernest Bevin and resulted in the creation of the TGWU, 1920-22 - a period which witnessed an intensification of pre and post WW1 militancy. Such militancy continued, albeit unevenly until 1926 and was met with resistance from employers and the State culminating in the mighty confrontation of the General Strike. Politically the union had a close relationship with the Labour Party and its two minority Governments (1923-4 and 1929-31). The defeat of 1926 marked a watershed in British labour history in which, again, the TGWU played a key role. Trade union militancy was succeeded by an attempt at negotiated accommodation with the employers, known as ‘Mondism’. Bevin was central to this development.

This report documents the proceedings of the civil society consultation on innovative development financing mechanisms, held in Dakar, Senegal in April 2008. It also highlights the voices of African civil society in the discourse on innovative sources of financing. With two African Heads of State taking on the Presidency for the Leading Group of Solidarity Levies to fund development, this is an opportunity for African CSOs, whose voices have hitherto not been heard much in discussions and deliberations of the Leading Group, to articulate their issues and concerns and make contributions to the innovative financing discourse and process. Breaking the Taboo provides a snapshot of some of the issues and concerns shared by civil society at the consultation in Dakar. It draws on the perspectives, experience and analysis of civil society organizations that were present at the consultation and makes recommendations for civil society action in the run up to the Doha Conference in November 2008.

This book is an appraisal of current offshore industrial relations, and safety regulations instituted after the 1988 Alpha disaster in the North Sea. This text discusses the oil industry''s attempts to contain subsequent, unwelcome regulatory interference, and examines the fraught history of trade unionism in the offshore industry, the conflict over health and safety, and the sometimes brutal struggle over union rights as the workforce attempted to achieve a collective voice in the reshaping of the safety and production environment. The authors conclude that, as yet, offshore safety has been little, or not at all, improved.
