Incomes Policy, Legislation and Shop Stewards, by T. Cliff and C. Barker, with an introduction by Reg Birch
Published by the London Industrial Shop Stewards Defence Committee (no date, although recorded elsewhere as being published in 1966), 136 pages. Paperback (S8295J)
From the rear side cover: We are deeply concerned at the development of the Incomes Policy into a disguised wage-freeze with the necessary sacrifices being at the expense of working people. It is clear that the main battle against the Policy will be.conducted at the workshop and factory floor level by rank and file militants and shop stewards, It is in this context that we see the T.U. legislation as an attack on those who represent workers most directly and effectively.
We are resolved to do our utmost to give maximum support to protect the militants and shop floor committees which have done so much in the past years to improve working-class living standards. In the present situation where the majority of the Trade Union Bureaucracy supports the Government's Incomes Policy and anti Trade Union legislation, there is a growing need for a rank and file organisation of trade unionists that will defend our common interests.
The policy of our committee commits us to assist any steward or trade union militant who finds himself victimised in any way. To give full support to all fellow workers engaged in strike action to defend or improve working class standards, whether the strike is official or unofficial and to campaign against interference in our trade union affairs and the threats of legislation.
Our committee will welcome help and support from any trade unionist irrespective of the union or industry to which he or she may belong. Our success will depend on creating a broad front that can concentrate on issues which will obtain the widest possible support from those in the T.U. movement who are prepared to fight in defence of basic working class principles. The committee has no preconceptions as to the forms that the struggle should take. We would welcome the advice, assistance and support of all industrial workers.
Condition of the book is generally good. The cover has several scuffs and blemishes, and nibbling and wear along the edges and corners, as well as foxing on the rear side, but the spine is intact and all pages are intact, unblemished and tightly bound.
When we post our books, we take great care in packaging them - first your book will be wrapped in bubblewrap, which protects the book and even keeps out any rain (in the event that it's raining when the postie delivers it!). Then we wrap your book in stiff cardboard, taking care to make sure all the corners are protected, and finally the package is wrapped in thick brown paper.
