First Published in 1977. This volume is an attempt to bring together in convenient form some of the most important studies of work stoppages in post-war Britain. For reason of convenience the selections have been grouped under three headings, namely British Experience, the Causes of Strikes and International Comparisons. The moral seems to be that the collection should be treated as a whole, in order to obtain a general view of the subject.
Work stoppages - the British experience: strikes, H.A. Clegg; work stoppages in the United Kingdom 1951-1964 - a quantitative study, P. Galambos and E.W. Evans; strikes in the United Kingdom - recent statistics and trends, J.F.B. Goodman; strikes and the economy, T.G. Whittingham and B. Towers; recent British strike trends - a factual analysis, M. Silver. The causes of strikes: post-war strikes in the North-East shipbuilding and ship-repairing industry 1946-1961, G.C. Cameron; the reasons given for striking an analysis of official statistics 1945-1957, W. McCarthy; an investigation into industrial strike activity in Britain, J.H. Pencavel; international differences in the strike propensity of coal miners - experience in four countries, G.V. Rimlinger.
