British trade unions took their role of representing the labour
force too far and tried to be agents of social change. Instead of
teaming up with Trotskyists devoted to class struggle, British
unions should have taken a leaf out of the Germans' book and worked
co-operatively with owners and managers to improve industrial
efficiency for mutual benefit.

Thats because by and large post war German ondustrial law was built by
British Army officers.

Not politicians and certainly not lefty****s
Adolf has got rid of most of those anyway.
