This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Labor Problems and Labor Administration in the United States During the World War, Vol. 2: The Development of War Labor Administration For some years prior to the war the Department of Labor had a service the purpose of which was to bring the manless job and the jobless man together, and to correlate as far as possible the employment services of other political units. Section 40 of the Immigration Act of February 20, 1909, provided for the organ ization within the Bureau of Immigration, at that time an in tegral part of the Department of Commerce and Labor, of a Division of Information to assist immigrants and other persons in securing employment. The Bureau of Immigration, including the Division of Information, was made a part of the Department of Labor under authority of the Act of March 4, 1913, which created the department. Upon its organization in 1914, the department converted the Division of Information into a gen eral employment service to function in the placement of all kinds of labor. Sanction for this procedure was found in the Act creating the Division of Information, and especially in Section 1 of the organic Act of March 4, 1913, providing for a Depart ment of Labor, which stipulated that The purpose of the Department of Labor shall be to foster, promote, and develop the welfare of the wage earners of the United States, to improve their working conditions, and to advance their opportunities for profitable employment. 12 This reorganized employment ser vice was called the United States Employment Service, and it functioned primarily through the Division of Information, which had been maintained as an integral part of the Bureau of Immigration.

Download or read book Labor and the Wartime State written by James B. Atleson and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States labor movement can credit -- or blame -- policies and regulations created during World War II for its current status. Focusing on the War Labor Board's treatment of arbitration, strikes, the scope of bargaining, and the contentious issue of union security, James Atleson shows how wartime necessities and language have carried over into a very different post-war world, affecting not only relations between unions and management but those between rank and file union members and their leaders.
Download or read book Labor s Home Front written by Andrew E. Kersten and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the oldest, strongest, and largest labor organizations in the U.S., the American Federation of Labor (AFL) had 4 million members in over 20,000 union locals during World War II. The AFL played a key role in wartime production and was a major actor in the contentious relationship between the state, organized labor, and the working class in the 1940s. The war years are pivotal in the history of American labor, but books on the AFL’s experiences are scant, with far more on the radical Congress of Industrial Unions (CIO). Andrew E. Kersten closes this gap with Labor’s Home Front, challenging us to reconsider the AFL and its influence on twentieth-century history. Kersten details the union's contributions to wartime labor relations, its opposition to the open shop movement, divided support for fair employment and equity for women and African American workers, its constant battles with the CIO, and its significant efforts to reshape American society, economics, and politics after the war. Throughout, Kersten frames his narrative with an original, central theme: that despite its conservative nature, the AFL was dramatically transformed during World War II, becoming a more powerful progressive force that pushed for liberal change.

Book excerpt: The author is convinced that there is a ruling class in America today. He examines the American power structure as it has developed in the 1980s. He presents systematic, empirical evidence that a fixed group of privileged people dominates the American economy and government. The book demonstrates that an upper class comprising only one-half of one percent of the population occupies key positions within the corporate community. It shows how leaders within this "power elite" reach government and dominate it through processes of special-interest lobbying, policy planning and candidate selection. It is written not to promote any political ideology, but to analyze our society with accuracy.

Download or read book Labor s Great War written by Joseph A. McCartin and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since World War I, says Joseph McCartin, the central problem of American labor relations has been the struggle among workers, managers, and state officials to reconcile democracy and authority in the workplace. In his comprehensive look at labor issues during the decade of the Great War, McCartin explores the political, economic, and social forces that gave rise to this conflict and shows how rising labor militancy and the sudden erosion of managerial control in wartime workplaces combined to create an industrial crisis. The search for a resolution to this crisis led to the formation of an influential coalition of labor Democrats, AFL unionists, and Progressive activists on the eve of U.S. entry into the war. Though the coalition's efforts in pursuit of industrial democracy were eventually frustrated by powerful forces in business and government and by internal rifts within the movement itself, McCartin shows how the shared quest helped cement the ties between unionists and the Democratic Party that would subsequently shape much New Deal legislation and would continue to influence the course of American political and labor history to the present day.
