Bargaining under Whitleyism, in Depression and War: 1920-45
Abstract
The record of work done by Whitley Committees in the few years they have been at work is nothing to be ashamed of when regard is had to the fact that not a single section of Government servants was prepared to use, even as a last resort, the ordinary fighting weapons of outside bodies of workers. There have been failures on the Whitley Councils, but there have been successes. Success is a relative term. When an army is fighting a hard battle it sometimes wins a success by holding its own ground. (George Middleton, MP, Post , 19 September 1925, p. 776)
