The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 80a

XXIII. & XXIV.—Trade Unions

XXIII. & XXIV.—Trade Unions.

The first of these Charts shows the membership of all Trade Unions in 1892-1904, classified according to trade, the mean membership during the thirteen years being thus shown, as well as the membership in each year. In the second the expenditure of 100 principal Unions has been analysed, the expenditure on Trade Disputes and the chief classes of friendly benefit, and on working and other expenses being indicated for each of the thirteen years and for the mean of the period.

The fluctuations in the amounts spent on dispute pay and unemployed benefits, and the almost continuous increase in the amounts spent on sick and accident benefits and superannuation allowances are noteworthy features in the second Chart.
