| Summary: | During the decades prior to the Civil War, extensive factory modernisation in the islands of Mallorca and Menorca meant that there were numerous committees of political parties and unions, mutual societies, and cooperatives. The decline of industry, with the tourist boom that was initiated with the 1959 stabilisation plan, meant the progressive disappearance of these organisations on the islands.
The book, ‘Sindicatos y turismo de masas en las Baleares. Del franquismo a la democracia’ focuses on the history of unionism in the hotel industry in the Balearic Islands, which resurfaced after union elections in 1975, and went on to change the organisation of Mallorcan hotel workers. |
