The Closed Shop—Conflict or Consensus? Part 1: The Development of the Closed Shop in Britain
Abstract
Introduction In the intense debates concerning industrial relations reform in the last decade and a half, few issues have attracted more heated controversy than the question of the closed shop. The industrial events of the winter of 1978–9 have led to a renewed debate. This culminated in the TUC producing a Code of Practice for trade unions on the operation of the closed shop; and the Conservative Party in their election manifesto committing themselves to a reform of the present legislation in this area.
