From the Paper:

"The UK has the oldest Trade Union movements in the world, going back over two centuries, originally designed to secure employment for workers in skilled craft industries. Towards the end of the nineteenth century labourers and unskilled workers were allowed to join. In 1825 an Act was passed allowing trade unions to exist, although this Act limited their right to strike."
