Summary

Terry brings together a selection of contributions from expert academics and leading figures of the union itself, wherein the achievements and failures of UNISON since its creation in 1993, and rthe challenges it will face in the future, are scrutinized. This work highlights the ways in which British public sector unionism in general, and trade unionism more widely, may develop, and in doing so deepens the undeerstanding of the nature of modern trade unionism in the twenty-first century.
