Book Description
Excerpt from Class and Class Conflict in Industrial Society Generalizing theoretical formulation and its empirical test are balanced in the present investigation. With R. K. Merton I regard theories of the middle range as the immediate task of sociological research: generalizations that are inspired by or oriented towards concrete observations. However, the exposition of the theory of social classes and class conflict stands in the center of this investiga tion. The resume of Marx's theory of class, the largely descriptive account of some historical changes of the past century, and the eriti cal examination of some earlier theories of class, including that of Marx, lead up to the central theoretical chapters; with the analysis of post-capitalist society in terms of class theory a first empirical test of my theoretical position is intended. The whole investigation re mains in the middle range also in that it is, as its title indicates, confined to industrial society.

Industrial Conflict in Modern Britain
Author: James E Cronin
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 104015123X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
First Published in 1979, Industrial Conflict in Modern Britain examines the unique rhythm of British strikes since the 1880’s and suggests that the explosive pattern of recurring strike waves provides the key to understanding both the evolution of British industrial relations and the major changes that have taken place in working class culture and behaviour. Two major themes emerge from this analysis: to explain how and why strikes themselves occur, and the association between industrial conflict and social relations. This thorough critique of prevailing research and concept within labour history, provides insight into the cause of strike waves, the varying propensity of workers in different industries to engage in strike action, and into the general history of British trade unionism. This is a must read for scholars and researchers of British labour history, British trade unionism and Industrial sociology.

The Dynamics of Industrial Conflict
Author: Henry Friedman
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 104012173X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
The Dynamics of Industrial Conflict (1980) focuses on the workings of industrial relations in the British motor industry, presenting the first joint retrospective analysis of industrial relations in a major multinational. The book includes a closely documented account of the Ford Sewing Machinists’ strike for equal pay and tells the inside story of that dispute, analysing its impact on the coming of equal pay and Britain’s new sex discrimination legislation. It assesses the consequences of the dispute for workers, management and unions at Ford, and then traces its repercussions on Britain’s industrial relations in the 1970s, down to the fall of the Labour Government in May 1979. A detailed explanation is given of the concealed ‘learning process’ which goes on below the surface of every system of industrial relations, whether at factory, company, industrial or national level.

The Human Face Of Industrial Conflict In Post-War Japan
Author: Hirosuke Kawanishi
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136884378
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
First Published in 1998. This volume first appeared in Japanese as Sengo Nihon no Sõgi to Ningen (1986). Published by Nihon Hyõronsha in Tokyo it included the reflections of nine union leaders who had taken their unions through some of Japan's most important post-war industrial disputes. In 1983 each of the leaders came to a student seminar at Chiba University near Tokyo. The talks were recorded and then transcribed with two aims in mind. One was to provide information on the events which led to the formation of Japan's industrial relations as we know them today. During the 1950s and early 1960s a number of Japan's key labour unions lost a succession of campaigns to establish and to defend what they saw as the natural rights of their members. Many of the unions experienced schisms, and the end result was a fundamental shift in the balance of power between labour and management.

Technology, Industrial Conflict and the Development of Technical Education in 19th-Century England
Author: Bernard P. Cronin
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040290205
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
This title was first published in 2001. Nineteenth-century employers played a crucial role in the training and education of young workers in England. This multi-disciplinary study traces the connection between problems of technical education development and the increasingly antagonistic relations with skilled workers, culminating in the Great Strike and Lockout of 1897. Cronin demonstrates that employers, dominated by economic short-termism, extended their hegemony beyond the boundaries of the factory gates. Their reluctance to endorse and sponsor technical education radically influenced the perception of technical education held by government and local authorities.
