Originally presented as the author's thesis (doctoral--University of Sydne)


This book is a study of relationship amongst the railway workers, unions and the state during 1960-74 and their role in bringing about a countrywide railway strike in 1974. The author examines the rejection of the officially sanctioned unions by many railway workers and their attempts to give shape to new organisations which better articulated their interests.Part One of the book analyses the structural relationship amongst the officially recognised unions, railway workers and the management, and the reasons for the recognised unions' declining support. Part Two discusses the strategies followed by the recognised unions to undermine the new unions. Part Three traces the course of the 1974 strike itself and the government's decision to crush the strike.  aRailroads-Employees-Labor Unions  aStrikes and Lockouts-Railroads  aIndia  aSHERLOCK (Stephen)
