O tej książce

On 6 August, the Tasmanian Steamship Co. laid up the SS Corinna after seamen took action over the sacking of a union member. Within a fortnight, ships' officers, wharf labourers, miners, shearers and others had become involved in what is known as the Maritime Strike. The Strike became the largest industrial conflict Australia had seen and had repercussions which have lasted now for over a century.The essays in this volume, written by some of Australia's leading labour historians, examine aspects of the Maritime Strike, exploring contemporary effects and long-range consequences, many of them for the first time.
