摘要

This chapter considers the movement’s effects on apprentice pay. Although higher pay was not a goal for many activists, it was an at least secondary goal for others, and many apprentices would clearly have welcomed higher pay. The response of trade unions to the movement was complex, but it did involve the prioritisation of higher apprentice pay. The bargaining context of the time proved favourable, and a major increase in the relative pay of apprentices occurred in metalworking during the movement. The generality of that effect is however obscured by data limitations.
