Part II Volume 5: 1865-1880 As some trade unionists began to emerge as national figures there were debates within unionism about the best tactics to be adopted to advance their cause. The so-called 'Junta' in London actively sought middle-class allies and emphasised that their unions offered an alternative to industrial conflict, while others continued to battle against recalcitrant employers, hostile courts and the erosion of traditional work patterns. There was also a new awareness of the international nature of capitalism and of the need for both national organisations and international co-operation.
