		Thus, Koo argues, the industrial structure, rising political opposition and an emerging working-class culture were significant in the growth of working-class solidarity throughout the 1980s.
		The epicentre for such industrial unrest was the industrial city of Ulsan, home of numerous Hyundai subsidiaries, in particular the Hyundai Motor Company and the shipyards of Hyundai Heavy Industries.
		Industrial unrest and street demonstrations spread unrest to other industrial cities in the South such as Pusan, Changwon and Masan and to other chaebol workplaces.

	Tim Pringle, Industrial Unrest in China—A Labour Movement in the Making?
		Others would point to at least six outbreaks of unrest dating back to the 1950s as evidence that the Chinese working class has a tradition of militancy that makes little distinction as to whether the boss wears a red star on his cap or an old school badge on his western suit.
		In the eyes of the World Bank and various neo-liberal economists, one of the great achievements of the Deng era was to lay the groundwork for an economy that operated on the principles of the 'trickledown' theory, as opposed to notions of the right to work and the right to basic welfare.
		A direct result of the unrest has been the reappearance of politically motivated labour organisers, labour lawyers and even the resurgence of a reformist wing in the ACFTU, an organisation soundly purged after it offered lukewarm support to the students during the 1989 Democracy Movement.

	Industrial unrest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The industrial relations system in Australia is likely to undergo another round of significant change when the Federal Government gains control of the Senate in July.
		This will especially be the case for unions, which operate in the federal system for some awards and agreements but that also have state branches active in their respective state systems, maintaining and pursuing state awards and agreements.
		It is unlikely to be a simple matter for unions to realign their structures and processes to deal with new industrial framework if the state systems become practically defunct for many employees currently covered by them.

		The industrial unrest of the years 1907--14 has been described by historians as the ”great unrest.” In parts of the country it was in fact unrest among women, for example, in London and the Black Country.
		In the metal-trades industries in and around Birmingham and the Black Country, the WU focused its efforts on forcing employer recognition and then fighting for a scale of minimum wages.
		After successful campaigns for the NFWW in the Birmingham baking industry, and with women chain-makers in Cradley Heath in 1910, she was asked to collaborate with the Worker’s Union during the Bilston metal worker’s strike of 1911, and subsequently joined the Worker’s Union (Lewenhak, 1977: 123-127; Soldon, 1978: 66-70; Corbett, 1966; 92-103; Thom, 1986: 266).

		The industrial unrest of the years 1907--14 has been described by historians as the "great unrest." In parts of the country it was in fact unrest among women, for example, in London and the Black Country.
		Indeed, perhaps mindful of their role in stimulating this "unrest of women," the WU then was faced with the problem of reminding and reassuring everyone, but particularly the male workers, that the rebellion was directed at the employers and not, despite occasional appearances to the contrary, at them, i.e.
		The industrial transformation must be charted as more than, less than, and also different from the conventional history of class relations." For a study of how English capitalists "fathered the workplace" in the nineteenth century, see Lown, 1983; 1990.

	GENUKI: Chartism and Industrial Unrest in South Wales in 1842

		At a mass meeting of strikers at Mottram Moor in Cheshire on 7 August it was resolved not to return to work till the Charter had become the law of the land, and similar resolutions were passed throughout the disaffected areas.
