About This Item
(Johannesburg: The South African Trade Union Council, 1961). 8vo; original papered boards; no dustwrapper; pp. xxiii + (i) + 387, incl. index; plates. Good to very good condition. Spine somewhat sunned; some light browning to endpapers and outer leaves; a little soiling to edges. The first major history of trade unionism in South Africa. "The most elementary of trade union principles demands that workers, irrespective of race or colour, shall have the recognised right to organise and to bargain collectively for the improvement of conditions of employment and other standards of life. The time is long overdue for the trade union forces to overcome any reaction in their ranks, to boldly follow the path of democracy and progress and to fight for the establishment in our country of internationally accepted trade union rights for all workers. Should they fail to do this they will be helping in their own destruction and in the collapse of the living standards and working conditions so painfully won." .
