This book examines in detail the Industrial Relations and Employment legislation introduced by the British Conservative government and its impact on trade unions--their role, organization, influences and prospects. In particular it looks at the use of ballot legislation as an instrument in this process. The book is a result of research carried out over almost a decade by a highly experienced and respected team who base their analysis on interviews, detailed analysis of legislation and union rule books, and a series of in-depth case studies.
