Andrew Brady is an academic with a PhD from the University of Strathclyde and works in the British labour movement.
Recenzii
"Ever since the trades unions were defeated in the 1980s, alienated work, unbearable inequality and disappearing quality jobs have become the order of the day. Andrew Brady's new book focuses on the unfashionable but crucial role of trades unions as a break on this never-ending decline and as a source of hope for the future." –Yanis Varoufakis
"Andrew Brady has produced an important and original new study of the changing ways through which British trade unions have exercised national political influence through the Labour Party over the past fifty years, which draws on detailed interviews with leading Labour and trade union figures. The ‘insider views’ of the Union-Party relationships during the New Labour period, in particular, are a major contribution to our political and historical understanding. The book is very timely, as Labour enters a new political phase and union influence over policy appears to be growing." —Peter Ackers - Visiting Professor in the History of Industrial Relations, Loughborough University
"Andrew Brady has the skills of the academic, the guile of a street politician, and the negotiating noose of the trade unionist. He needed all three of these traits in writing this book of unravelling the almost schizophrenic relationship between the New Labour and the UK Trade Union Leaderships. He has succeeded brilliantly." –Sir Ian McCartney - former Labour Government Minster and Chairman of the Labour Party
"Using a unique dataset drawn from interviews with leading players from the trade unions and Labour, Andrew Brady’s book allows us to rethink key events such as the struggle for the National Minimum Wage and the Employment Relations Act in new and insightful ways’."—Paul Thompson - Professor of Employment Studies, University of Stirling
"The mass re-engagement of voters with the radical left in Britain has its roots in a political turn by trade unions in the early 21st century. Andrew Brady's timely book traces the change in strategy that has led to unions taking overt political action to represent their members, and to a wave of unionisation struggles by precarious workers. Brady's rigorous overview of these developments will stimulate debate among academics, HR professionals and the wider labour and trade union movement itself." –Paul Mason
"In this important book, Brady uses a rich body of research findings to analyse the role of the main trade unions in the ‘social contract’ under the Labour governments of the 1970s, and the very different dynamics of their involvement with the Blair-Brown governments after 1997. His major contribution is to chart the micro-politics of Party-union relations, and to demonstrate how strategic interventions can shape outcomes, even in a difficult environment. Persuading major actors on both sides of the relationship to speak frankly and at length about the policy dynamics represents a major research achievement."-Richard Hyman, Emeritus Professor of Industrial Relations at the London School of Economics.
"We are all in debt to Andrew Brady for providing us with fresh insight into what has sometimes been a tortuous and, at times, even tormented relationship between the British Labour Party and the British trades union movement over the last half-century. His story starts in the 1960s, with the efforts of the Wilson administration to bring order to British factories through the Donovan Commission and the ill-fated White Paper In Place of Strife, and ends with the Warwick Agreement of 2004, New Labour’s effort, in the wake of Blair’s disastrous war in Iraq, to revive some intimacy with its trades union partners. This is a timely and thoughtful book."- Professor Jan Toporowski in Economics and Finance at SOAS, University of London.

Descriere
This book will evidence how trade unions were able to offset environmental constraints through a progressive focus on political action, despite diminished power in the Labour Party’s structures and the wider economy.
