Trade Union Activism in the Nordic Countries since 1900Palgrave Studies in the History of Social Movements（2023）
Abstract
In Scandinavia, trade unionism originates in the private sectors. It all started with the industrial breakthrough in the 1860s, which led to profit-oriented companies coming into competition with each other and the formation of a market for the purchase and sale of labor (Webb, S. and Webb, B. [1897] Industrial Democracy [London: Longmans], see introduction of this volume). The immediate consequent was an insecure existence for the workers in the form of unemployment and pressure on wages.
