Details
Industrial unionism is the late nineteenth phenomenon which saw the union movement reach out to workers previously unrepresented by craft unions. Rather than workers organising by the craft they practiced, they instead organised on the basis of the industry in which they were employed.
Influenced by socialist thought, industrial unionism provided mass organisation of unskilled workers, transforming the trade union movement.
