The Politics of Labour and Development in Trinidad
Author: Ray Kiely
Publisher: University of the West Indies Press
ISBN: 9789766400170
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
This thesis is a labour history of Trinidad and Tobago, concentrating on the period from 1937 to 1990. The study attempts to show that there is not a unified or homogenous working class, and for this reason both traditional Marxist and industrial relations theories are rejected. Instead, the history of labour focuses on how the working classes have been divided by factors such as race, gender, class structure and politics. These divisions are used as an explanation for the absence of a popular socialist party in the country. It concludes that the economic recession of the 1980s has led to the worst crisis in the history of the labour movement, but at the same time, this has laid the framework for a new strategy of social movement unionism, which attempts to constructively engage with, rather than ignore, divisions within the working classes. The main sources of data were documentary and archival material, and in particular, reports made by the British TUC and Colonial Office, industrial relations legislation, and trade union and political party documents and manifestoes. For the contemporary period, these sources of data were supplemented by fifteen interviews with leading figures in trade union and labour politics. The work is based on a macro approach to the study of labour, and as such constitutes a new and original approach to the study of labour in Trinidad and Tobago. In addition, more contemporary trade union documents and interviews provided the researcher with new and original material.

Emergence of the Caribbean Empire
Author: Jerome Teelucksingh
Publisher: Peter Lang Publishing
ISBN: 9781803743738
Category : Labor movement
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"This book is an analysis of the involvement and impact of Trinidad and Tobago 's first major labour organisation, the Trinidad Workingmen's Association (TWA), and early trade unions in politics. Furthermore, the author focuses on the role of unions in the evolution of working class consciousness from its rudimentary stages to the subsequent rise of organized trade unionism of the post-1937 era. Consideration is given to the seminal role of the early trade unions as mobiliser and organiser of the working class both for participation in electoral politics, and as a catalyst for ethnic cohesion in the post-World War One era to 1976. One of the major conclusions in the study is that the early working class organizations and emergence of ideologically strong trade unionism and ad hoc groups as the electioneering campaign committees were the precursors of the well-organized political machinery of the post-World War Two era. The author provides evidence that the comprehensive organisational skills of Labour in organizing meetings, selecting candidates, campaigning for votes and debating issues on the electoral platform were determining factors which resulted in creditable performances in limited electoral victories in elections during 1925 to 1976"--
