Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Robert McElborough was a Belfast trade unionist and unflinching loyalist who worked on tramways and in the gas industry. This selection from his autobiography records Protestant working-class life, the mistreatment of workers and the divisions within Ulster trade unionism, which are further explored in the editor's introduction. Subjective, yet authentic, McElborough's narrative is an essential source for the study of both loyalism and labour in Belfast.

This selection from his autobiography provides a unique record of Protestant working-class life, and a trenchant commentary on the mistreatment of workers by their masters. It also chronicles the tensions between English union bosses and Ulster trade unionists, and McElborough's support for Ulster-based unions uncontaminated by either red or green influences.The complexities of Belfast labour history are clarified in the author's introduction and notes. Subjective, sometimes unreliable, yet authentic, McElborough's narrative is an essential source for the study of both loyalism and labour in Belfast. This autobiography from Robert McElborough provides a record of Protestant working-class life and a trenchant commentary on the mistreatment of workers by their masters.
