Thatcher et les syndicats[modifier | modifier le code]

  • « For Mrs Thatcher unions were the problem, rarely part of the solution » (Jim Tomlinson, Government and the enterprise since 1900: the changing problem of efficiency, Oxford University Press, 1994, p. 315.)
  • « Government legislation between 1980 and 1993 steadily weakened the trade unions, both in industrial relations and politics. The attack on the trade unions was a fundamental part of the government's economic policy. » (Chris Wrigley, British trade unions, 1945-1995, Manchester University Press, 1997, p. 18.)
  • « In 1979 some 53 per cent of workers were union members. By 1999 this had fallen to 28 per cent. [...] the role of the law [celles du gouvernement Thatcher] is direct here. » (John T. Addison, Claus Schnabel, International handbook of trade unions, Edward Elgar Publishing, 2005, p. 422.)
  • « Prior, Employment Secretary until September 1981, said Thatcher 'loathed the trade unions' (Guardian, 20 May 1985). Had she had a free hand, their activities would have been severely curtailed. » (David Childs, Britain since 1945: a political history, Routledge, 2001, p. 210.)
  • « Thatcher came to power determined to cut back union influence in politics and industry; through a combination of economic policies and industrial relations legislation she succeeded to a significant degree. » (Lowell Turner, Democracy at work: changing world markets and the future of labor unions, Cornell University Press, 1993, p. 200.)
  • « Thatcherites regarded trade unions as "the enemy within" whose powers needed to be cautiously but ruthlessly stripped. Thus, the Thatcher governments not only carried out their manifesto proposals but denied trade unions access to Whitehall and refused to intervene or compromise even in the most prolonged and damaging of disputes, susch as the miners' year-long strike of 1984-85. » (Barry Cooper, Allan Kornberg, William Mishler, The Resurgence of conservatism in Anglo-American democracies, Duke University Press, 1988, p. 291.)
  • « In 1979-97 political circumstances were very unfavourable [to trade unionism] for much of the period, with Margaret Thatcher and serveral of her colleagues not concealing their detestation of trade unionism and of most trade union leaders. » (Chris Wrigley, British trade unions since 1933, Cambridge University Press, 2002, p. 76.)
  • « At this macro level, the Thatcherite promotion of economic liberalism, and the lauding of 'market forces' as the prime determinant of economic activity, resulted in the increasing marginalization and exclusion of trade unions from economic and industrial policy making. » (Peter Dorey, Policy making in Britain: an introduction, SAGE, 2005, p. 140.)
