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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Problems of Organized Labor The aim of this volume is to present briefly the important facts in the history of organized labor in the United States, to analyze the chief problems which directly or indirectly affect the labor organizations of the present decade, and to evaluate the functions of organized labor in the industrial and political world. The history of American labor organizations presents to the observer a rapidly changing and almost bewildering picture of which few careful studies have been made. The government, ideals, practices, solidarity, and inter-relationships of such organizations have experienced, and are at present undergoing, a variety of transformations. It is the purpose of the writer to present to the student of industrial problems and to the general reader a straightforward study of the forces which have caused labor organizations to appear and to assume a variety of forms. The aim is not to justify or to condemn the practices and ideals of organized labor or of employers' associations, but to analyze the phenomena of which the practices and ideals are the visible manifestations. Labor organizations, employers' associations, strikes, boycotts, the demand for the closed shop, the sweating system, and the ideals and point of view of organized labor or of organized capital are evolved through the play of social forces working within the economic field. The modem labor problem cannot be understood, and certainly cannot be solved, until the underlying causative forces, new and old, physical and social, are laid bare.

Download or read book Save Our Unions written by Steve Early and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Save Our Unions: Dispatches From A Movement in Distress brings together recent essays and reporting by labor journalist Steve Early. The author illuminates the challenges facing U.S. workers, whether they’re trying to democratize their union, win a strike, defend past contract gains, or bargain with management for the first time. Drawing on forty years of personal experience, Early writes about cross-border union campaigning, labor strategies for organizing and health care reform, and political initiatives that might lessen worker dependence on the Democratic Party. Save Our Unions contains vivid portraits of rank-and-file heroes and heroines, both well-known and unsung. It takes readers to union conventions and funerals, strikes and picket-lines, celebrations of labor’s past and struggles to insure that unions still have a future in the 21st century. The book’s insight, analysis and advocacy make this an important contribution to the project of labor revitalization and reform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thrilling and true account of racketeering and union corruption in mid-century New York, when unions and the mob were locked in a power struggle that reverberates to this day In 1949, in New York City's crowded Garment District, a union organizer named William Lurye was stabbed to death by a mob assassin. Through the lens of this murder case, prize-winning authors David Witwer and Catherine Rios explore American labor history at its critical turning point, drawing on FBI case files and the private papers of investigative journalists who first broke the story. A narrative that originates in the garment industry of mid-century New York, which produced over 80 percent of the nation's dresses at the time, Murder in the Garment District quickly moves to a national stage, where congressional anti-corruption hearings gripped the nation and forever tainted the reputation of American unions. Replete with elements of a true-crime thriller, Murder in the Garment District includes a riveting cast of characters, from wheeling and dealing union president David Dubinsky to the notorious gangster Abe Chait and the crusading Robert F. Kennedy, whose public duel with Jimmy Hoffa became front-page news. Deeply researched and grounded in the street-level events that put people's lives and livelihoods at stake, Murder in the Garment District is destined to become a classic work of history—one that also explains the current troubled state of unions in America.
