Publisher's Synopsis
This book shows how, through its characters, the ETU Victorian Branch has grown and how, as an organisation, it furthered and used its industrial and political clout to improve the lot of its members. A leading union today, the ETU is one of a few which still enjoy a growing membership. By looking at its history through its main characters, learning of their differing ideologies to bear in the workplace and in disputes, this history reveals the character of the Union itself.
