Working for the Union

Explore the intricate dynamics of labor relations in "Working for the Union" by John Kelly, published by Cambridge University Press in 2009. This insightful study spans 248 pages and delves into the relationship between full-time union officials and shop stewards in British industry during the critical years of 1986 to 1991.
