| Tiivistelmä: | Recent years have witnessed a campaign for the abolition of wages councils. Despite repeated shifts in the attitude of friends and enemies alike, wages councils (formerly trade boards) have survived for over seventy years. Their value and limitations are examined. The need for more wide-ranging regulation to tackle the problem of poverty wages in the midst of affluence is considered. The history of wages councils is divided into four phases: the anti-sweating movement and the origins of the 1909 Trade Boards Act; the expansion of the boards, and their fights for survival during the inter-war years; the post-war development and criticism; Conservative Party amendments, national minimum wage. |
