Marx and Engels on the Trade Unions

In this volume virtually everything Marx and Engels ever wrote on strikes and trade unions has been collected. It includes vivid, often eyewitness accounts of many of the greatest strikes and labour struggles of the last century.

It also illuminates the immense part personally played by Marx and Engels in helping to establish the modern labor movement. These writings demonstrate that the founders of Marxism in no way failed (as is ofted assumed) to produce a complete and unambiguous theory of trade unionism.
