CHAPTER IX THE TREND OF DEVELOPMENT ' A TRADE-UNION," according to one authorjfj ity, "is a continuous association of wageearners for the purpose of maintaining or improving the conditions of their employment." l A trade-union although usually including benevolent and fraternal features is something more than a mere fraternal order which might easily be a continuous association of wage-earners. The purpose of maintaining or improving conditions of employment involves means and ends and a more or less fixed policy which makes an organization a trade-union. Trade-unionism involves collective bargaining as over against individual bargaining for wages and conditions of employment and the use of the strike as a weapon of last resort in enforcing demands. A number of American tradeunions began as mutual benevolent and fraternal societies and have become under economic pressure regular labor organizations. A similar development is now going on in a number of organizations resembling in some respects trade-unions, and it is the purpose of this chapter to show by the study of concrete instances the trend of this development. i Webb, Sidney and Beatrice, History of Trade Unionism. 1902, p. 1. The dividing line between fraternal or beneficiary organizations and trade-unions seems to lie in the matter of collective bargaining and in the attitude towards strikes. The National Association of Stationary Engineers, for example, which was organized in 1882, lays stress upon educational and beneficiary features and declares that " this association shall at no time be used for the furtherance of strikes, or for the purpose of interfering in any way between its members and their employers as to wages." 1 Strikes, moreover, it is urged, are unnecessary...

Download or read book The Jewish Unions in America written by Bernard Weinstein and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newly arrived in New York in 1882 from Tsarist Russia, the sixteen-year-old Bernard Weinstein discovered an America in which unionism, socialism, and anarchism were very much in the air. He found a home in the tenements of New York and for the next fifty years he devoted his life to the struggles of fellow Jewish workers. The Jewish Unions in America blends memoir and history to chronicle this time. It describes how Weinstein led countless strikes, held the unions together in the face of retaliation from the bosses, investigated sweatshops and factories with the aid of reformers, and faced down schisms by various factions, including Anarchists and Communists. He co-founded the United Hebrew Trades and wrote speeches, articles and books advancing the cause of the labor movement. From the pages of this book emerges a vivid picture of workers’ organizations at the beginning of the twentieth century and a capitalist system that bred exploitation, poverty, and inequality. Although workers’ rights have made great progress in the decades since, Weinstein’s descriptions of workers with jobs pitted against those without, and American workers against workers abroad, still carry echoes today. The Jewish Unions in America is a testament to the struggles of working people a hundred years ago. But it is also a reminder that workers must still battle to live decent lives in the free market. For the first time, Maurice Wolfthal’s readable translation makes Weinstein’s Yiddish text available to English readers. It is essential reading for students and scholars of labor history, Jewish history, and the history of American immigration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN UNUSUAL man has given us an unusual book under the above title. For many years W. A. Appleton as secretary of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Great Britain has been an outstanding figure in the British trade union movement. He is far from popular among labor politicians and those who seek ephemeral advantage by methods not fundamentally sound. Among trade unionists, Appleton is estimated as one of the clearest thinking men in the movement-as one who applies his sound judgment to carrying through plans that make higher opportunities for life available to the common people. Appleton is a lace maker by trade who treasures an artistic home hidden behind a wall and masses of flowers. His idea of a pleasure outing is a trip to a high grade art gallery. His chosen calling finds him daily trying to bring opportunities for beauty, orderliness and spirituality into the lives of the makers and users of tools. His own thinking and living are ordered in accord with a fundamental philosophy upon which he squares all his problems. His book illustrates his habit of mind and work for it is the by-product of his careful consideration of problems-on paper. Failure to analyze desire, circumstances and possible Mr. Appleton says, "facilitates the spread of dangerous propaganda and leads to wasted activity." Certainly, no one has been more impervious to sophistry thaa Appleton and it would be well if more of us schooled ourselves to the discipline of reducing our thoughts and arguments to writing and studied the result in cold black and white. Loose thinking and mental laziness are responsible for many human misfortunes. Each chapter of the book is the presentation of the author's conclusions upon a distinct though related problem. His fundamental philosophy is admirably stated in the chapters Labor and Capital and Trade Unionism. The commodity theory of labor he regards as the fundamental reason for existing trouble between Labor and Capital.... ...."What We Want and Where We Are" is an unbiased review of trade unionism as developed thus far, showing the continuity of trade policies as illuminated by a conscious philosophy of life, and indicating a future filled with still greater possibilities for service. It is a book that should be read by all students of labor problems. -The American Federationist [1922] * * * * * Equity is a roguish thing; for law we have a measure, know what to trust to; equity is according to the conscience of him that is chancellor, and as that is larger or narrower, so is equity. -John Sheldon. * * * * * From the political point of view there is but one single principle-the sovereignty of man over himself. The sovereignty over myself is called Liberty. - Victor Hugo.
