	Trade Union Movement in Britain - MSN Encarta
		Trade unionists were also much influenced by Robert Owen and his socialist and cooperative ideas, and many trade unionists were involved in Chartism in the late 1830s and the 1840s.
		Often new unionism occurred in newer, expanding sectors of the economy, in workplaces that were large and distinct—therefore easier to unionize as a near-closed shop—and sometimes in municipal-run enterprises.
		Trade union affiliations to the LRC increased dramatically as the scale of the costs to the railwaymen became known: from 232,000 in July 1900 to 847,315 in February 1903.

	Trade union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trade unions have sometimes been seen as successors to the guilds of Medieval Europe, though the relationship between the two is disputed.
		The London Trades Council was founded in 1860, and the Sheffield Outrages spurred the establishment of the Trades Union Congress in 1868.
		The legal status of trade unions in the United Kingdom was established by a Royal Commission in 1867, which agreed that the establishment of the organizations was to the advantage of both employers and employees.

	Trade Unionism \| libcom.org
		Trade unionism is an action of the workers, which does not go beyond the limit of capitalism.
		Trade unionism was the first training school in proletarian virtue, in solidarity as the spirit of organised fighting.
		So the trade unions find themselves between the devil and the deep blue sea; on the one side persecution, which is a tough thing to bear for people who meant to be peaceful citizens; on the other side, the rebellion of the members, which may undermine the unions.

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Trade union (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Since the publication of the History of Trade Unionism (1894) by Sidney and Beatrice Webb, the predominant historical view is that a trade union "...is a continuous association of wage earners for the purpose of maintaining or improving the conditions of their employment" (Webb).
		Trade unions are often accused of benefiting the insider workers, those having a secure job and high productivity, at the cost of the outsider workers, those who are unemployed or at the risk of unemployment or who are not able to get the job that they want in a particular field.
		The legal status of trade unions in the United Kingdom was established by a Royal Commission in 1867, which agreed that the establishment of the organisations was to the advantage of both employers and employees.

	Chapter Thirteen, TRADE UNIONISM
		It was only when craft or trade unions were established that the protest took on a socially conscious form, for only then did the workers independently group themselves together as part of a class and conceive that their interests were opposed to those of their employers.
		Although the trade unions, in composition and historical import, were class organizations, the workers could not ascertain through them alone the problems of their entire class nor wage a class fight.
		Thus, in the course of trade union evolution, a tendency developed for the trade unions to burst the narrow integument of their practical activity, and they at times became training fields for revolutionary propaganda just as their strikes themselves became rehearsals for the revolution.

	1961: The Trade Unions: Communist Theory and Practice of Trade Unionism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		It attempts, not to be a history, but to illustrate basic principles that underlie the trade union movement, in the light of Marxist-Leninism, of practice and experiences, and to analyse the changing conditions with which the trade unions are confronted in their long struggle against capitalist exploitation of the working class.
		The “revisers” of Marx, especially Bernstein and the German trade union bureaucrats, the fathers of the “revision” of Marxism in favour of reformism were utterly opportunist as the subsequent history of trade unionism under capitalism amply proves.
		We have noted throughout this study of trade unionism the role of reformism; its basis in the labour “aristocracy,” its opposition to Marxist theory, to the class struggle, its detrimental effect upon the unity, and correct organisation of the working-class.

	In the Cause of Labour - A History of British Trade Unionism
		The purpose of this history of British trade unionism is not only to recite the wrongs inflicted on working people, Shelley's "heroes of unwritten story", or simply to describe their heroic struggles.
		New forces are emerging in the trade union and Labour movement, which are beginning to challenge the dead hand of the old right-wing leaderships.
		The election of a string of left-wing general secretaries and officials in the British trade unions is symptomatic of a deep-seated frustration and anger within the union rank and file and the working class generally.

	Global trade unionism - NI 117 - Keynote
		Trade unions have certainly expressed their verbal commitment to social justice on a global scale with dazzling fervour.
		Commented an Australian trade union newsletter: ‘Very often when Australian workers are told that to save their jobs they have to be more competitive, it means competing against fellow workers in another country.
		Alone among international trade union bodies, the ITSs (with a few notable exceptions) have generally concentrated on the practical problems of national unions which bargain collectively and represent workers in the workplace itself But the companies know only too well that the current practice of dealing with a divided union movement works to their advantage.

		Trade unionism in Tanzania: the case of the Tanzania Federation of Trade Unions (TFTU) and government
		This study on trade unionism in Tanzania is largely anchored on the theoretical premise that in order to attain a thorough understanding of the movement, the varying contexts in which the movement originated and developed need to be taken into account.
		The author suggests that the trade union movement in Tanzania has a number of challenges ahead, as the TFTU and its affiliates need to justify their existence as independent trade unions which are all out to defend the occupational, economic and social interests of the workers.

	EMIRE: SPAIN - OCCUPATIONAL TRADE UNIONISM
		Trade unionism which groups together workers in the same occupation or occupational category.
		In Spain as elsewhere it is to a certain extent the offspring of the craft unions, but differs from them in that it reflects a reaction against class trade unionism or industrial trade unions with the aim of more directly promoting the specific interests of particular groups of workers.
		Occasionally, the term "occupational trade unionism" alludes to the trade union strategy of not interfering in the political process rather than to the group of workers represented; in this sense, many general trade unions claim to practise occupational trade unionism (e.g.

	The Black Commentator - The Future of Organized Labor in the US - Issue 126
		In this context, contrary to the spirit of A. Philip Randolph’s notion that the essence of trade unionism is social uplift, the trade union movement is rarely looked to today as a voice of progress and innovation, or a consistent ally of progressive social movements.
		The future of the right to join or form trade unions is integrally linked to the future of democracy in the USA. In its own obvious interests, the union movement must unite the demand for the right to form or join unions — the right to organize — with the overall battle for democracy.
		State federations and central labor councils must be democratic, inclusive, young and audacious: Too many central labor councils and state federations, due to their lack of representation, are disconnected from the realities that their members face, not to mention, the realities faced by the bulk of the working class.

	DICK HOWARD -- ON THE FUTURE OF TRADE UNIONISM -- LOGOS 4.3 SUMMER 2005
		That vision of “pure and simple trade unionism” had overcome the opposition from various socialist movements—until the Great Depression of the 1930’s, which gave rise to new radical demands.
		It would be clear that, in the last resort, trade unionism is not a corporatism that works for the sole good of its members.
		Reflections such as these, that are implicit in the challenge posed by the supporters of “Change to Win” could lead trade unionists and their allies to recognize that their role is not limited to realizing a utilitarian logic of self-interest that, in the end, is hardly different from the one practiced by capitalism.

	New features emerging in French trade unionism?
		These include: joint debates between the CFDT and the CGT; a public willingness on the part of the CGT to move from a "trade unionism of protest to a trade unionism of proposals"; a partnership contract between the CFDT and the UNSA; and an "overhaul" of the CFE-CGC.
		French trade unionism has been characterised over the last few years by a low level of unionisation - a density of 9.1% in 1995, according to the International Labour Organisation's 1997-8 World Labour Report (Industrial relations, democracy and social stability) - and by the fragmentation of unions.
		It should be noted that trade unions are not alone in attempting an overhaul, as the CNPF employers' confederation has also recently decided to change its structures, operating methods and name, now calling itself MEDEF (FR9811140F).
