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.
