Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Finances of American Trade Unions We can easily see that to work successfully, this fiscal arrangement not only requires uniformity of membership dues and benefits in all locals, as with the Community of funds system, but necessitates, as has already been inti mated, approximate uniformity in the quality, skill and earn ings of the membership.22 It has therefore been adopted by few unions, the great majority adhering to the plan of main taining a central fund by taxing the members of each local organization a fixed per capita amount at regular monthly or quarterly intervals. We have already seen that the form of the revenue charge differed somewhat in the oldest organizations. In the Typo graphical Union and in the Journeymen Horseshoers, it consisted of a small percentage of the receipts of local unions; while in the Iron Molders, a fixed sum was levied upon each local, proportioned to the number of delegates that each was entitled to send to the general convention. Both of these methods, however, proved unsatisfactory, and were early replaced by a periodic per capita tax, levied theoretically upon the individual members, but paid directly out of the funds of the local unions.

This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Control of Strikes in American Trade Unions Strikes have been a marked feature of American industrial life during the last fifty years, and this period has been characterized by the rise and growth of trade unions in this country. The two facts are closely connected. The purpose of a strike is to enforce the demands of the men who engage in it by a withdrawal from work. To make this device more effective, the trade union endeavors to organize the workmen. By means of organization three results are accomplished. In the first place, the strike is made more comprehensive and therefore is more likely to succeed. Secondly, the strike is more efficiently financed and the strikers, therefore, can stand out longer. Finally, the advantages won by the strike are better retained when a permanent organization of the men is accomplished.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Americanization of Labor: The Employers Offensive Against the Trade Unions, With an Introd, by S. Nearing Business class power in the United States is not the result of accident. Since the organization of the Standard Oil Co. In 1870, of the United States Steel Corporation in 1901, and the passage Of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 the business interests have added steadily to their wealth and to their control over the political and social machinery of the country. Probably there is no country in the world to-day where the business interests occupy a position of such unchallenged power as that which they now hold in the United States. Economic and historic forces have united to push the United States business interests into the foreground Business lead ers have planned and manipulated. Deliberately they have forged the links in the Chain of their economic power. To-day they have, almost within their grasp, a monopoly of the best exploiting opportunities in the world. A brief description of some of the more important factors in this quick rise to power forms an excellent background from which to consider a de tailed study Of the Offensive recently inaugurated by the Ameri can employers against the organized workers.

Download or read book Who Rules America Now written by G. William Domhoff and published by Touchstone. This book was released on 1986 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Jurisdiction in American Building Trades Unions Classic Reprint written by Nathaniel Ruggles Whitney and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-17 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jurisdiction in American Building-Trades Unions Three forms of trade-union jurisdiction, therefore, may be distinguished: (1) territorial jurisdiction, (2) personal juris diction, and (3) trade jurisdiction. Since the second type, personal jurisdiction, is rudimentary or transitional, atten tion will be confined in the present study to territorial juris diction and trade jurisdiction. Where it seems necessary to speak of what appears on the surface to be personal juris diction, it will be dealt with under one of the other two types, into one or the other Of which all problems of control over persons must ultimately be resolved. Accordingly, the first and second chapters will be devoted to determining the territory and the trades over which the unions claim con trol, and the following chapters will deal with the disputes arising from these claims. It will appear that one great class of disputes - dual union disputes - may arise from conflict in either of these two forms of jurisdiction claims.

Download or read book Clashing Over Commerce written by Douglas A. Irwin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 873 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Foreign Affairs Best Book of the Year: “Tells the history of American trade policy . . . [A] grand narrative [that] also debunks trade-policy myths.” —Economist Should the United States be open to commerce with other countries, or should it protect domestic industries from foreign competition? This question has been the source of bitter political conflict throughout American history. Such conflict was inevitable, James Madison argued in the Federalist Papers, because trade policy involves clashing economic interests. The struggle between the winners and losers from trade has always been fierce because dollars and jobs are at stake: depending on what policy is chosen, some industries, farmers, and workers will prosper, while others will suffer. Douglas A. Irwin’s Clashing over Commerce is the most authoritative and comprehensive history of US trade policy to date, offering a clear picture of the various economic and political forces that have shaped it. From the start, trade policy divided the nation—first when Thomas Jefferson declared an embargo on all foreign trade and then when South Carolina threatened to secede from the Union over excessive taxes on imports. The Civil War saw a shift toward protectionism, which then came under constant political attack. Then, controversy over the Smoot-Hawley tariff during the Great Depression led to a policy shift toward freer trade, involving trade agreements that eventually produced the World Trade Organization. Irwin makes sense of this turbulent history by showing how different economic interests tend to be grouped geographically, meaning that every proposed policy change found ready champions and opponents in Congress. Deeply researched and rich with insight and detail, Clashing over Commerce provides valuable and enduring insights into US trade policy past and present. “Combines scholarly analysis with a historian’s eye for trends and colorful details . . . readable and illuminating, for the trade expert and for all Americans wanting a deeper understanding of America’s evolving role in the global economy.” —National Review “Magisterial.” —Foreign Affairs

Download or read book State of the Union written by Nelson Lichtenstein and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-26 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a fresh and timely reinterpretation, Nelson Lichtenstein examines how trade unionism has waxed and waned in the nation's political and moral imagination, among both devoted partisans and intransigent foes. From the steel foundry to the burger-grill, from Woodrow Wilson to John Sweeney, from Homestead to Pittston, Lichtenstein weaves together a compelling matrix of ideas, stories, strikes, laws, and people in a streamlined narrative of work and labor in the twentieth century. The "labor question" became a burning issue during the Progressive Era because its solution seemed essential to the survival of American democracy itself. Beginning there, Lichtenstein takes us all the way to the organizing fever of contemporary Los Angeles, where the labor movement stands at the center of the effort to transform millions of new immigrants into alert citizen unionists. He offers an expansive survey of labor's upsurge during the 1930s, when the New Deal put a white, male version of industrial democracy at the heart of U.S. political culture. He debunks the myth of a postwar "management-labor accord" by showing that there was (at most) a limited, unstable truce. Lichtenstein argues that the ideas that had once sustained solidarity and citizenship in the world of work underwent a radical transformation when the rights-centered social movements of the 1960s and 1970s captured the nation's moral imagination. The labor movement was therefore tragically unprepared for the years of Reagan and Clinton: although technological change and a new era of global economics battered the unions, their real failure was one of ideas and political will. Throughout, Lichtenstein argues that labor's most important function, in theory if not always in practice, has been the vitalization of a democratic ethos, at work and in the larger society. To the extent that the unions fuse their purpose with that impulse, they can once again become central to the fate of the republic. State of the Union is an incisive history that tells the story of one of America's defining aspirations.
