Reihe: New Perspectives on the Right

This book analyses the 1970-74 Conservative Government’s failure to ‘depoliticise’ its role in industrial relations as it imposed a new legal framework to discipline trade unions. Through analysis of recently released primary documents, it provides new insights into the strategic failings and industrial disputes that brought down the government.
