Rise of Trade Unions in England in the Nineteenth Century
A compact history notes the shift from illegal combinations to regulated unions under statute. It traces English laws from Edward I to the Trade Union Acts of 1871 and 1876, outlining union aims as mutual relief and labor representation, with organization centered in town-based general committees and branches. It also references current provincial concerns about miners in British Columbia and local notes from Nelson.
