ABOUT
New Zealand industrial relations history.
The first industrial negotiations in New Zealand took place at Britannia Beach (Petone in 1840, when a young immigrant carpenter declined any job that required him to work longer than eight hours a day. From that day to this, New Zealanders at work have struggled for a better life. This is the story of that struggle. Toil and Trouble is essentially a picture book, with over 300 photographs chosen to illustrate significant incidents.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and illustrations, includes vintage adverts.
