Abstract

The growth of the labour-government nexus, originally developed as an extension of the war effort, soon took on an even greater significance in the immediate postwar struggle to rebuild Europe. The interactions between governments and trades unions in Europe became crucial in two concurrent struggles. The first was the struggle to rebuild the war-torn economies of Europe by renewing the productive capacity of the nations. The second was the struggle to win hegemony within the political arena in order to shape the political destinies of the European states. The creation by the allies of ‘zones of influences’ in Europe at the Potsdam and Yalta talks presaged the division of Europe into two hostile camps. In this process of division trades unions played a vital role.
