Decline and renewal in the British labour movement: Trends, practices and lessons for South Africa

Abstract

Much of the contemporary literature on union decline and renewal ascribes organizational difficulties to external forces; renewal is seen as largely dependent on the emergence of a more favourable external environment. Yet unions can thrive in adverse circumstances; they are both made and broken by what they can do for their present and potential members. In this article, we explore the causes and nature of union decline and renewal in the United Kingdom and the lessons it holds for South Africa.
