Social Analysis: A Marxist Critique and Alternative
The Union of Post Office Workers: A Study in Political Sociology
Marxist Sociology
The Meaning of the Working Class in Africa
The purpose of this article is largely methodological, in that it aims to sketch an analytical approach to the question of differentiation rather than to provide an empirical analysis. There are clear reasons for approaching the issue in this way. We need to know what the term 'working class' means, whether there are divisions within it which significantly influence the behaviour of those affected by them, and the forms which these divisions take…
The Study of African Trade Unionism
The phenomenon of trade unionism in tropical Africa has only recently become the subject of serious social inquiry. In the main, academic attention has been focused on labour as a commodity rather than as a social movement. Through the activities of the National Institute for Personnel Research in Johannesburg and the Commission for Technical Co-operation in Africa South of the Sahara, labour research interests have been primarily concentrated on…
Industrial Disputes: Essays in the Sociology of Industrial Relations
The Restrictive Society
The Origins of Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration
Trade unionism has always involved the settlement of industrial disputes by negotiations between workers' representatives and employers. On occasions in the eighteenth and first half of the nineteenth centuries demands made by workers or employers were granted without question by the other side; at other times the demands were rejected out of hand and this was acquiesced in by the other side. In between these extremes lay a number of possible out…

The Ethics of Trade Union Leaders
rN this paper I have endeavoured to give an account of the premlsses from which trade union leaders act and to examine, in a general way, their aims, i *their code of trade union morality, their loyalties and to show their attitude to the standard of social behaviour in the society which they purport to change. It is not a comprehensive examination. Some aspects of behaviour are barely mentioned: for example, the problem of remuneration whether t…

HE TASK which I have set myself in this paper is neither | popular nor easy. It is not popular to claim recognition for a 1 new discipline in a field of study which is already occupied by many vested interests. It is not easy because those already working in the field have rationalized their presence and justified their approaches and methods. Those who are now examining labour problems are not likely to be readily convinced that by going their s…
