\\n\\n50 years ago, the conflict between the Harold Wilson Labour Government & the trade unions over the Barbara Castle White Paper \\u2018In Place of Strife\\u2019 was one of the pivotal moments of post-war British Industrial Relations. It pitched voluntarist ideas of \\u2018free collective bargaining\\u2019 against ideas of economic planning & public policy concerns about strikes, inflation and restrictive practices. The white paper followed the 1968 Donovan Report & preceded Heath\\u2019s Conservative 1971 Industrial Relations Act. In response to Peter Dorey\\u2019s new book on In Place of Strife, this seminar has two parts. In the morning there is a historical reassessment of the political episode. In the afternoon, we consider the implications for current Labour Party policy on trade unions, as the Manifesto promises to \\u2018roll out sectoral bargaining\\u2019. The seminar is held at the Modern Records Centre, the largest UK trade union & industrial relations collection, which will be introduced to us.
