Abstract
The industrial organisation of labour into trade unions and participation in strike action followed roughly similar patterns in most European countries prior to the First World War. The same cannot be said of the political mobilisation of labour, levels of which varied enormously from one country to another, as did the ideological position adopted by various working-class parties.
