11 For the theoretical basis of this view, see Clarke, Tom and Clements, Laurie (eds), Trade Unions under Capitalism (London, 1977)Google Scholar; Hyman, , Marxism and the Sociology of Trade Unions; Industrial Relations, pp. 67–9, 87–92, 142–5Google Scholar; and “Politics of Workplace Trade Unionism”, especially pp. 54–5Google Scholar: “those continuously engaged in a representative capacity perform a crucial mediating role in sustaining tendencies towards an accommodative and subaltern relationship with external agencies (employers and the state) in opposition to which trade unions were originally formed […]. Because of their ongoing relationship with external parties, officials normally become committed to preserving a stable bargaining relationship and to the ‘rules of the game’; which this presupposes”. For historical applications, see inter alia, Burgess, , Origins of British Industrial Relations, pp. vi–xi and 309–10Google Scholar; and Price, , Masters, Unions and Men, pp. 104–235, and especially p. 8Google Scholar, where he observes that “the conflict relationship between official unionism and the rank and file” evident from the 1890s “was a structural not a behavioural tension, inherent to the negotiated compromise between labour and society that emanated from the acceptance of organised labour's role as an agent with bargaining rights over industrial conditions”.

12 See, for example, Hyman, , Industrial Relations, p. 199Google Scholar: “The process of institutionalisation is itself beset by contradictions […]. It does indeed achieve a provisional containment of disorder; but where workers grievances and discontents are not resolved, they give rise eventually to new forms of conflict […]”; cf.

18 Thus for Price, , Masters, Unions and Men, p. 8Google Scholar: the “effort to exert a control over the productive process is essentially a product of the employer-worker relationship; it is implicit in the subordination in which workers are placed [.]”; while for Hyman, , Industrial Relations, p. 23Google Scholar: “between these two classes there exists a radical conflict of interests, which underlies everything that occurs in industrial relations”.

21 The AEU was formed in 1920 as an amalgamation of the ASE and three smaller craft societies; it became the Amalgamated Engineering Federation (AEF) in 1967 and the Amalgamated Union of Engineering Workers (AUEW) in 1970 as a result of mergers with the Foundrymen and the Draughtsmen and Allied Technicians' Association respectively; with the departure of its Technical and Supervisory Section (TASS) in 1986, it has reverted to its original title.

The strike was unofficial, because to all intents no strike can be official […]. In most cases a strike will take place in two sections, firstly the negotiations […] by the trade union executives; secondly if the men are dissatisfied with the result, they take the matter into their own hands and strike.”

29 Thus, as Hyman observes, the rhetoric of “rank-and-file” opposition to trade union officialdom between the wars was closely associated with the struggles of the Communist Party and other leftwing groups to constitute themselves as “a putative alternative leadership”; and on his own account, the formally organized “Rank and File Movements” of the period “increasingly represented artificial constructs”.

R., 2 02 1915, p. 3Google Scholar: “The unions are essentially democratic. Their Executive Councils are hide-bound in their actions not only by the history of the movement, but by the actual terms of their constitutions. A breach of their constitutions or an action ultra vires of their power under the constitution would render the Council liable to immediate impeachment and the tribulation which the Councils of several very important Unions have come through naturally makes the members of the Councils doubly careful that they protect themselves by acting strictly within the limits of their mandate.”

44 This interpretation will be developed more fully in my forthcoming book, The Triumph of Adversarial Bargaining.

45 This approach draws on the theoretical framework elaborated in Sabel, Charles F., “The Internal Politics of Trade Unions”, in Berger, Suzanne (ed.), Organizing Interests in Western Europe: Pluralism, Corporatism and the Transformation of Politics (Cambridge, 1981).Google Scholar
