| Zusammenfassung: | Bob Crow was the most well-known and most militant union leader of his generation. This biography examines his leadership of the RMT union, examining and exposing a number of popular myths created about him by political opponents. Using the schema of his personal characteristics (including his public persona), his politics and the power of his members, it explains how and why he was able to punch above his weight in industrial relations and on the political stage, helping the small RMT union become as influential as many of its much larger counterparts. As RMT leader, he oversaw a rise in membership, a more assertive and successful bargaining approach, and led the realignment of radical left politics in response to the hegemony of 'new' Labour. While he failed to unite all socialists into one new party, he established himself as the leading popular critic of neo-liberalism, 'new' Labour and the age of austerity. |

As RMT leader, he oversaw a rise in membership, a more assertive and successful bargaining approach, and led the realignment of radical left politics in response to the hegemony of 'new' Labour. While he failed to unite all socialists into one new party, he established himself as the leading popular critic of neo-liberalism, 'new' Labour and the age of austerity.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="588" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Print version of record.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="t">Front matter --</subfield><subfield code="t">Dedication --</subfield><subfield code="t">Contents --</subfield><subfield code="t">Acknowledgements --</subfield><subfield code="t">List of abbreviations --</subfield><subfield code="t">Introduction --</subfield><subfield code="t">1 Formative years --</subfield><subfield code="t">2 The 1990s --</subfield><subfield code="t">3 Becoming RMT general secretary --</subfield><subfield code="t">4 Second term as general secretary --</subfield><subfield code="t">5 Last term of office --</subfield><subfield code="t">6 Person and personal life --</subfield><subfield code="t">7 Politics and practice --</subfield><subfield code="t">8 Perception and practice --</subfield><subfield code="t">9 Legacy and legend --</subfield><subfield code="t">Appendix 1 --</subfield><subfield code="t">Appendix 2 --</subfield><subfield code="t">Bibliography --</subfield><subfield code="t">Index</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Crow, Bob,</subfield><subfield code="d">1961-2014.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2017044546</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Crow, Bob,</subfield><subfield code="d">1961-2014</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Labor unions</subfield><subfield code="z">Great Britain</subfield><subfield code="x">Officials and employees</subfield><subfield code="v">Biography.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Syndicats</subfield><subfield code="z">Grande-Bretagne</subfield><subfield code="x">Personnel</subfield><subfield code="v">Biographies.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">BUSINESS & ECONOMICS</subfield><subfield code="x">Labor.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">POLITICAL SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Labor & Industrial Relations.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">POLITICAL SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Political Process</subfield><subfield code="x">Leadership.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Labor unions</subfield><subfield code="x">Officials and employees</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Great Britain</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJdmp7p3cx8hpmJ8HvmTpP</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">collective biographies.</subfield><subfield code="2">aat</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Biographies</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Biographies.</subfield><subfield code="2">lcgft</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Biographies.</subfield><subfield code="2">rvmgf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Bob Crow: socialist, leader, fighter (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCGPdpk893789HChDDrXcKb</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Gall, Gregor.</subfield><subfield code="t">Bob Crow -

Manchester, United Kingdom : Manchester University Press, 2017. 1 online resource text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index. Bob Crow was the most well-known and most militant union leader of his generation. This biography examines his leadership of the RMT union, examining and exposing a number of popular myths created about him by political opponents. Using the schema of his personal characteristics (including his public persona), his politics and the power of his members, it explains how and why he was able to punch above his weight in industrial relations and on the political stage, helping the small RMT union become as influential as many of its much larger counterparts. As RMT leader, he oversaw a rise in membership, a more assertive and successful bargaining approach, and led the realignment of radical left politics in response to the hegemony of 'new' Labour. While he failed to unite all socialists into one new party, he established himself as the leading popular critic of neo-liberalism, 'new' Labour and the age of austerity. Print version of record.
