Description
The Lucas Plan: A New Trade Unionism in the Making? This book tells the story of the Lucas workers' determination to defend their jobs and develop a plan to convert from military production to socially useful products. Despite management's scepticism, government obstruction, and an unhelpful official trade union response, the workforce showed remarkable resolve and skill in making their plan work. The result is a riveting political story with timely lessons for those concerned with arms conversion, climate change, alternative models of work, and socially useful production. This new edition features Hilary Wainwright's reflections after 40 years, offering fresh insights into this pivotal moment in British history. A valuable contribution to our understanding of the challenges facing workers and the need for innovative solutions, The Lucas Plan is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in politics, social science, or industrial relations.
