The Study of African Trade Unionism

Abstract

The phenomenon of trade unionism in tropical Africa has only recently become the subject of serious social inquiry. In the main, academic attention has been focused on labour as a commodity rather than as a social movement. Through the activities of the National Institute for Personnel Research in Johannesburg and the Commission for Technical Co-operation in Africa South of the Sahara, labour research interests have been primarily concentrated on productivity, efficiency, labour turnover, selection, control, and training. The volume of such work has been small compared with similar work in western industrialised countries, but it has been large in comparison with that concerning the collective action of African labour.
