Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Big Union for Australia The world's toiling masses are stirring; the age-long mental sleep of Labor is breaking, and thoughts almost sweet and visionary whisper the hope of a new indus trial world to countless millions. In the factory and the field are work-weary men and women; in the trenches, high in the air, deep in the gloomy mine men are murmuring this new-born thought of Industrial Freedom. Political freedom has failed to satisfy; the right to vote has been weighed and found wanting. Parliaments and Governments come and go, but the deadly struggle for meals never relaxes, a struggle so frequently fought by the wage-earner - and lost. In the social crucible old ideas are vanishing. In the mad massacre for markets we see beliefs, customs and once-honored institutions being rapidly swept into a well-merited oblivion, and new conditions, bearing with them new ideas, are moving the laboring multitude.

This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Trade Unionism in Australia The scarcity of authoritative Australian books on economic, social and political problems has been severely felt during the development of the Workers' Educational Association in the Commonwealth. On the foundation of the Federal Council of the W. E. A. In 1918, a means of overcoming this difficulty was sought. Among the pro fessors, lecturers and tutors who have so readily assisted the tutorial class movement, some had collected valuable material bearing on these problems. Through the Federal Council it was thought possible to assemble this material for publication in a series of monographs intended for the use of students in tutorial classes and elsewhere. Thus has the W. E. A. Series of publications been founded, and it is hoped that its utility will extend beyond the immediate needs of the members of the W. E. A. To the growing number of students of social problems in Australia. The chief aim of the series being to encourage investiga tion in a field of study hitherto surprisingly neglected in Australia, the W. E. A. Does not accept responsibility for the views expressed by the writers therein. Its purpose is to stimulate thought, not to propagate doctrines. A dis claimer of this kind may appear odd in a preface, but our experience of the persistency with which our critics insist on attributing to the Association the opinions of those who happen to be connected with it, has convinced us that it is necessary.

Download or read book One Big Union written by Mark Hearn and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-07-01 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australian Workers Union (AWU), formed in 1886, has been one of the most influential unions in Australia's political and industrial history. This comprehensive and compelling book, first published in 1996, is a national history of the AWU. It shows that the union has been a player in key events and crises in Australian history, including the great strikes of the 1890s, the 1916-17 conscription crisis, Labor's splits in the 1950s and the 1956 shearers' strike. The book features vivid portraits of the tempestuous and talented individuals who matched these great issues. Unique as a union whose industrial and political power was unrivalled for over sixty years, few unions in Great Britain or the United States have had such influence as the AWU. This book will be an important addition to labour history, but it is also a work of general appeal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The One Big Union: Will It Emancipate the Worker? The much prophesied and apparently inevitable war being over, we are now faced in every country by a labour conflict. equally prophesied and equally inevitable. Whether it be true or not, as the German Professor Hauser argues, that a world-war between the big industrial nations had become an economic necessity, owing to the uncontrollable impetus of quantitative production, there is no doubt that the mighty struggle has precipitated a conflict between Capitalism and Labour, even in countries not directly engaged in the war. The past four years have been equivalent to a century of social education for the workers. At an early stage they realized the weakness and waste of the capitalistic system; during the war they learned their own strength; before its close they experienced the futility of State socialism. In the welter of reconstruction, to which the State, the capitalists, and the workers are alike giving feverish attention, it is perhaps quite natural that the section which has the most to gain, and possesses a vast superiority in numbers, should be sorely tempted to try the shortest way to the millenium. In the effort of Capitalism to re-direct industrial production into the old channels, retaining where possible the advantages given to it by quasi-military organization, Labour secs an opportunity to outflank it. The opponents stand, as it were, on a Hindenburg Line. and each is searching for the vulnerable salient. The problem for the statesman is to bring about an equitable peace - to restore stability, while preserving the nation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trade Unionism in Australia The group of papers embodied in this report does not claim to present a complete account of Trade Unionism in Australia. They were written by men of great experience in the world of economics and industry, but differing widely in training, and writing without anv attempt at collusion or conference prior to the actual reading of the papers. I: is remamable, therefore, how clearly can be traced, through most of the papers, certain leading ideas which give them some claim to incorporation in one book under a comprehensive title. To bring this fact into high relief, we place below a series of extracts exhibiting this central idea. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book What Unions No Longer Do written by Jake Rosenfeld and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From workers' wages to presidential elections, labor unions once exerted tremendous clout in American life. In the immediate post-World War II era, one in three workers belonged to a union. The fraction now is close to one in five, and just one in ten in the private sector. The only thing big about Big Labor today is the scope of its problems. While many studies have explained the causes of this decline, What Unions No Longer Do shows the broad repercussions of labor's collapse for the American economy and polity. Organized labor was not just a minor player during the middle decades of the twentieth century, Jake Rosenfeld asserts. For generations it was the core institution fighting for economic and political equality in the United States. Unions leveraged their bargaining power to deliver benefits to workers while shaping cultural understandings of fairness in the workplace. What Unions No Longer Do details the consequences of labor's decline, including poorer working conditions, less economic assimilation for immigrants, and wage stagnation among African-Americans. In short, unions are no longer instrumental in combating inequality in our economy and our politics, resulting in a sharp decline in the prospects of American workers and their families.
