{"product_id":"9781032803517","title":"Masters and Journeymen : A Prehistory of Industrial Relations, 1717-1800 by C.R. Dobson","description":"Masters and Journeymen (1980) examines eighteenth-century trade unionism through nearly four hundred labour disputes in Britain between 1717 and 1800. It uses a series of primary materials - rule books, minutes and written agreements - to identify the elements of an `industrial relations system' half a century before the Industrial Revolution. There are detailed accounts of several strikes in London and the provinces and much new documentation. The book concludes with a reinterpretation of the role of the state in eighteenth-century labour relations and throws new light on the origins of the Combination Acts.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368404267381,"sku":"9781032803517","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781032803517","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
