The labor movement in the explanation of social service growth: the United States and Britain
Abstract
Through a comparison of Britain and the United States, it is argued that the labor movement is an important variable in explaining the growth of social services. After the introduction, the first section seeks to explain why mass unionization came earlier and is more extensive in Britain and describes differences in the industrial relations systems of the two countries. Then an attempt is made to trace the history of political action by unions in Britain and the United States in relation to periods of social service development. (Journal abstract, edited.)
