This book provides detailed evidence of how the largest UK public sector union fought against the neo-liberal policies of the Thatcher governments. In particular it traces the union's opposition to privatization, and its responses to the introduction of market mechanisms in local government, education, and the National Health Service. The authors' research reveals a vibrant and democratic culture located in the best traditions of progressive trade unionism.
