`deserves to be widely read. It is a work of academic distinction
and is informed by an understanding attitude to trade unionism set
out in its opening chapter ... provides a radical commentary on the
theory of industrial relations and throws new light on the damaging
consequences of Thatcher's period of office.'
Jim Mortimer, Socialist Campaign Group News, 10, July 2001
`This book deals very well with the issues which led to the merger
of NALGO, NUPE and COHSE - three proud, strong and independent
trade unions ... This is not the usual stodge of political
anecdote, but a fascinating insight into an important part of our
recent industrial struggle.'
Ivan Beavis, Morning Star, 9 May 2001
`If you think this is just another self-congratulatory trade union
history, wherein aged ex-activists celebrate their trade union
careers, you are mistaken. This is a bit of a cracker ... This book
is an appropriate testament to the roles played by oustanding trade
unionists'
