The lecture provides an overview of the trade unions’ history in Great Britain and France from the second half of the 19th century until nowadays. Its focus is on the impact of the labour movement on the social legislation in the two countries, placing the main developments of the unions’ action in a wider global perspective. This approach allows us to discuss worldwide trends like the welfare states, Neo-Liberal doctrines, globalisation, and the European integration process, by scrutinising how these processes influenced unions’ programmes. The lecture, therefore, aims to offer historical insights to discuss topical issues beyond just the British and French cases.
