Abstract

Creighton, Ford and Mitchell note that "No published research on the use made by Australian unions of the registration provisions of the British 'model' of the 1870s is available, and therefore the precise impact of these statutes remains open to further examination". The central purpose of this paper is go some way to filling this gap by examining trade union responses to the enactment of the various colonial trade union Acts.
