Truck: Or Semi-Serfdom In The Shetland Isles is a book written by Shetland, published in 1871. The book provides an in-depth account of the truck system prevalent in the Shetland Isles during the 19th century. The truck system was a form of payment in which workers were paid in goods instead of money. This led to exploitation of workers as they were paid less than the value of their labor. The book describes the harsh living conditions of the workers and their families, who were forced to rely on the truck system to survive. It highlights the struggles of the workers to break free from the system and demand fair wages. The author, Shetland, provides a detailed analysis of the truck system and its impact on the economy and society of the Shetland Isles. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of labor relations and workers’ rights. It sheds light on an important chapter in the history of the Shetland Isles and provides insights into the challenges faced by workers in the 19th century. Overall, Truck: Or Semi-Serfdom In The Shetland Isles is a well-researched and informative book that provides a unique perspective on the truck system and its impact on the lives of workers in the Shetland Isles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
