Marxism and the Trade Union Struggle

This book uses an account of the 1926 General Strike in order to re-examine key questions for Marxists today. How should socialists relate to the working class whose emancipation they seek? And in particular, to the mass struggles of the class? Where do trade unions stand in the struggle for socialism? What is the role of the trade union leaders? On all these key issues the 1926 General Strike was a textbook demonstration.
