Capitalism, the State and Industrial Relations (1982) examines the many different forms of state intervention in industrial relations in Britain, among them being corporatism, liberalism, paternalism and pluralism. This discussion puts forward a sociological explanation of some of the determinants of state intervention. It concentrates on the period since 1960 and on policies such as those embodied in the Industrial Relations Act of 1971 and the Employment Protection Act of 1975. Institutional changes, such as the formation of the Commission on Industrial Relations and of the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service, are also considered. With this in view, this book examines the relationship between class structure, class conflict and state power. The role and influence of organised labour and the industrial working class on the formulation of policy are assessed in order to clarify the social forces constraining and shaping the intervention of the state in industrial relations. One crucial conclusion to emerge is a sceptical assessment of the possibilities for the establishment of a successful corporatist control of industrial relations by means of the state in Britain.

The Price of TUC Leadership (1961) is a serious criticism of the TUC by the General Secretary of another large trade union. It contends, among other things, that the TUC bore responsibility for Labour’s defeat in the 1959 General Election, and for the decline in the influence and effectiveness of the trade union movement. It also criticises the leadership and its public relations, and covers the part played by the union in the de-nationalization of the steel industry.

Masters and Journeymen (1980) examines eighteenth-century trade unionism through nearly four hundred labour disputes in Britain between 1717 and 1800. It uses a series of primary materials – rule books, minutes and written agreements – to identify the elements of an ‘industrial relations system’ half a century before the Industrial Revolution. There are detailed accounts of several strikes in London and the provinces and much new documentation. The book concludes with a reinterpretation of the role of the state in eighteenth-century labour relations and throws new light on the origins of the Combination Acts.

National Wages Policy in War and Peace (1958) examines the thorny issue of inflation prevention, looking at a host of Western economies in the wartime and postwar period. It looks at the experience of national wage policies under a variety of different economic and social conditions, and concludes that a centrally administered national wages policy cannot be relied upon as a means of preventing inflation. It indicates that this may be achieved with the minimum interference with free collective bargaining if all parties, Government, trade unions and employers exercise their power with responsibility.

The British Worker Question (1986) examines the productivity of British workers, drawing upon a wide range of management, trade union and other sources, and spanning the traditional preserves of several other areas and disciplines – economic history, industrial administration, industrial relations and Marxism. It criticises much earlier research for its lack of a grounded sociological analysis of both workers and managements and for its lack of detailed attention to how goods and services are actually produced. The book accords a central place in its analysis of workers and productivity to the role of social organisation and management, matters which both the orthodox and Marxist traditions neglect.

Ownership, Control and Ideology (1969) looks at the debate surrounding issues of ownership and control. It analyses a large body of existing literature from several disciplines, examining the ‘factual’ issues but also showing that the terminology of the debate also requires fundamental re-analysis. In addition an empirical study of directors and senior managers is used to explore the businessman’s definition of the situation.

Industrial Relations and Health Services (1982) provides a comparative treatment of labour and industrial relations in health services in Canada, Britain and the USA. While there are differences between the systems in these three countries, such differences illuminate the particular responses and policies that need to be made in varying circumstances. It is written by practitioners as well as academics, so that it will provide practical insights into bargaining strategies, labour relations issues and conflict resolution techniques.

The Policy-making Process (1969) studies the relationships between the Conservative Government of 1956 and the organised industrial groups that were considered its natural allies in the aftermath of the Restrictive Trade Practices Act of 1956. This Act reflected a long-standing belief in Britain that the degree of competition and the efficient uses of resources are closely related, and acted against the long-established practices of certain industrial trade associations.

White-Collar Proletariat (1980) explores the major changes in the industrial and political behaviour of British civil servants in the 1970s. It looks at their turn to militancy and asks whether it can be explained by reference to the sociological concept of proletarianization, a concept defined with particular reference to Marx and neo-Marxist writers. Attention is focused on a number of variables which sociologists have regarded as critical, those of level and source of income, social origins and the organization of work.

Industrial Relations in the Modern State (1937) provides an introduction, as objective as possible in character, to the differing policies of 1930s liberal and totalitarian states in the matter of industrial relations. The period was the height of worker struggles around the world, as modern labour policies were developed against a backdrop of intense political upheaval.

Wage Regulation under the Statute of Artificers (1938) is a study of the enforcement of the 1562 Statute of Artificers during the period of its operation, with particular reference to wage assessment and the contract of employment. Extensive use is made of manuscript sources in different parts of Britain, many of which have not hitherto been examined in this connection. An attempt is made, in the light of this and the printed evidence, to determine the effectiveness of machinery, the working of which has been a controversial issue since the study of economic history began.

European Trade Unionism (1973) examines the differences between the trade union movements of Europe, alongside noting their similarities. Trade unions in Europe differ in their political and religious allegiances, their membership and structure, their success or failure – but they have much in common too, not least their problems.

Management by Agreement (1973) examines the ramifications of the 1971 Industrial Relations Act and industrial relations in Britain. It looks at the threats of Government legal action against trade unions and the reform of collective bargaining, and concludes that the Act fails to deal with management’s crucial problem: the interaction of two opposing pressures from the workforces and the economic climate.
