The Emergence of European Trade Unionism delves into the pre-1914 evolution of trade unions across various European nations, including France, Germany, Britain, and the Netherlands. Part one explores the realm of trade unionism in the iron, steel, and textile industries, as well as the Dockers unions in the bustling ports of London. This comprehensive examination spans a range of locations, encompassing both large and medium-sized towns as well as textile and machine-making cities. Part two further examines key aspects of industrial relations within these countries. Collectively, the essays in this book present a fresh and insightful reevaluation of Western European trade unionism in the four decades preceding the outbreak of the First World War. By adopting a comparative perspective in terms of subject matter, geographical coverage, and analytical approach, the book offers intriguing insights and unique viewpoints into the interwoven national, international, and transnational themes that shaped the history of early twentieth-century trade unionism.
