Originally published in 1979 at a time when white-collar union membership had increased both in the public and private sectors of the economy, this book explains who the members were, why there was such astonishing membership growth and the circumstances which surrounded it. The history of this growth is recorded and the special problems of organization and recruitment are outlined. Issues discussed include bargaining, communications, the salary package concept, organization and recruitment problems, the rewards system, incomes policies, government liaison work and industrial democracy.

Industry Reviews

Review of original edition of White-Collar Unionism:

'White-Collar Unionism remains a useful and important book...it clearly delineates the impact of some of the labor legislation of the 1970s on the white-collar organizations. For those interested in modern British labor history or in white-collar unionism anywhere in the world it should make for valuable reading.' Mark McColloch, International Labor and Working Class History, No. 18.
