THE RED FEDS

Revolutionary Industrial Unionism and the New Zealand Federation

of Labour 1908-1913

Erik Olssen

$60.00

This is the first full history of the most turbulent period in New Zealand's industrial history: the period of the 'Red' Federation of Labour, from its beginnings in the coal mines of the West Coast of New Zealand. The story begins with the Blackball Strike of 1908, and finishes with the great strike of 1913 and its aftermath.

The central actors in the story are the 'unskilled', as they were coming to be known — the miners, wharfies, shearers, labourers, flaxies, and seamen, without whom there would have been no Red Federation.

In his penetrating study of the period Erik Olssen focuses on the rank-and-file workers and their leaders, in their dramatic battle to achieve dignity and power, and the struggle over strategies. The author provides sensitive accounts of the world of work, vivid por-traits of the revolutionaries who led the Federation, including Savage, Hickey, Fraser, Holland, Webb, and J. B. King. He explores the Australian dimension to New Zealand's labour history, the role of ideology, the impact of the Wobblies, and examines in detail the upheavals of 1912-1913.

The Red Feds will be of interest to historians, especially labour historians, to students of history, and also to all those who have reaped the benefits of the early years of struggle.
