"Railway workers were a uniformed and respectable section of the British working class. They built their trade unions in the face of employer hostility, and their organisations played a crucial role in the construction of effective labour politics."--BOOK JACKET. "Respectable Radicals uses rich archival sources to analyse this history through a series of case studies."--BOOK JACKET. "This penetrating study is essential reading for all academics interested in the history of transport and labour relations and for all railway enthusiasts."--Jacket.
