The Principles of Political Economy

Henry Sidgwick

Book 3, Chapter 2, Footnote #08
Anti-competitive trades union policies


It is one of the most serious of economic objections alleged against Trades' Unions, from the point of view of the community, that the regulations of some of them are partly framed to carry out this anti-social method of increasing the remuneration of a particular class. Cp. Thornton on Labour, Pt. iii. ch. 5. See, however, Howell, Capital and Labour, ch. viii.
