- W1566706777 abstract "The thesis examines labourers’ assisted migration to and from North Americaduring 1850-1885, the dates of societies’ emigration schemes. The dissertationfocuses on ‘New Model’ unions: the Engineers, Carpenters, Steam EngineMakers and Iron Founders. Three of these unions had overseas branches; one didnot. The dissertation explores the significance of the introduction, development,use and eventual termination of these schemes for labour history.Emigration scheme research is limited, with little recent work publishedsince 1955. The dissertation offers solutions to conflicting views on the exactduration of the Founders’ scheme and supplies evidence that the Engineerscontinued to fund members even after their scheme officially ended. Furthermore,it argues that scheme-termination was led more by external factors (notably viaContract Labor Acts) than internal factors, and that the duration of the Founders’scheme related more to overseas branch absence than to fund shortage or ethos.Additionally, the view is challenged that schemes purely supported labour supplyregulation and/or escape avenues for agitators and black listed unionists. Unionshad different motives, different periods defined those motives, and executivesoperated in members’ best interests.The research provides new and supporting evidence of inter-society andgovernment emigration co-operation. It focuses on the under-studied topic ofreturn migration, specifically union-funded return, with empirical evidenceprovided of union funded and non-funded emigrants and returnees. It adopts arange of socio-economic variables. Finally, adding to scant knowledge of internalmigration or emigration alternatives, empirical evidence is provided of preemigrationand post-return movement of unionists. Correspondence, particularlybetween overseas branches and union executives, is used throughout. Finally, amajor component involves a project at Fall River, which explores the extent thatemigrants’ descendants have assimilated in probably the most importantreceiving area for nineteenth-century skilled Lancastrian workmen." @default.
