History of the graphic trade union movement in Belgium before 1975

The book covers the history of the graphic trade union movement over the past two centuries. The author dispels the many prejudices the graphic trade union movement faced in the past and presents an honest picture of the graphic artists, their unions, and their contribution to the emergence and development of the Belgian trade union movement. This publication is a revised version of his doctoral dissertation.
