Trade Union Law and Cases: A Text Book Relating to Trade Unions and to Labour (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Trade Union Law and Cases: A d104 Book Relating to Trade Unions and to Labour

Union (provident Funds) Act, 1893. All the cases bearing upon each and all of these Acts are cited and explained in connection with the various sections of each Act.

The Combination Laws, Repeal of. - With respect to the Trade Union Acts, it is necessary to explain that the right of combination was conceded by the repeal of the Combination Laws, first in 1824 by 5 Geo. IV. 0. 95, and then, in a slightly modified form, by 6 Geo. IV. C. 129, in 1825, the former being repealed, and the latter substituted therefor. But though combinations of workmen were no longer illegal, singularly enough the right to com bine thus conceded did not carry with it the citizen's right of protection, as regards funds and property.
