Download or read book The Death and Life of American Labor written by Stanley Aronowitz and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decline of the American union movement—and how it can revive, by a leading analyst of labor Union membership in the United States has fallen below 11 percent, the lowest rate since before the New Deal. Labor activist and scholar of the American labor movement Stanley Aronowitz argues that the movement as we have known it for the last 100 years is effectively dead. And he explains how this death has been a long time coming—the organizing and political principles adopted by US unions at mid-century have taken a terrible toll. In the 1950s, Aronowitz was a factory metalworker. In the ’50s and ’60s, he directed organizing with the Amalgamated Clothing Workers and the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers. In 1963, he coordinated the labor participation for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Ten years later, the publication of his book False Promises: The Shaping of American Working Class Consciousness was a landmark in the study of the US working-class and workers’ movements. Aronowitz draws on this long personal history, reflecting on his continuing involvement in labor organizing, with groups such as the Professional Staff Congress of the City University. He brings a historian’s understanding of American workers’ struggles in taking the long view of the labor movement. Then, in a survey of current initiatives, strikes, organizations, and allies, Aronowitz analyzes the possibilities of labor’s rebirth, and sets out a program for a new, broad, radical workers’ movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This riveting, nuanced book takes seriously the workplace radicalism of many early twentieth century American workers. The restriction of working class militancy to the workplace, it shows, was no mere economism. Organizational rather than psychological in orientation, Battling For American Labor accounts for both the early preference of dockworkers in Philadelphia and hotel and restaurant workers in New York for the IWW rather than the AFL and for the reversal of this choice in the 1920s. In so doing, it points the way to a fresh reading of American labor history."—Ira Katznelson, Columbia University "Howard Kimeldorf's book, based on sound and solid historical research in archives, newspapers, journals, memoirs and oral histories, argues that workers in the United States, regardless of their precise union affiliation, harbored syndicalist tendencies which manifested themselves in direct action on the job. Because Kimeldorf's book reinterprets much of the history of the labor movement in the United States, it will surely generate much controversy among scholars and capture the attention of readers."—Melvyn Dubofsky, Binghamton University, SUNY "Howard Kimeldorf's new book is a very exciting accomplishment. This book will surely leave a major imprint on labor history and the sociology of labor. Kimeldorf's focus on repertoires of collective action and practice instead of ideology is a particularly important contribution; one that will force students of labor to rethink many worn-out arguments. After reading Battling For American Labor, one will no longer be able to assume the IWW's defeat was inevitable, or take seriously psychological theories of worker consciousness."—David Wellman, author of The Union Makes Us Strong

Download or read book Law and the Shaping of the American Labor Movement written by William E. Forbath and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did American workers, unlike their European counterparts, fail to forge a class-based movement to pursue broad social reform? Was it simply that they lacked class consciousness and were more interested in personal mobility? In a richly detailed survey of labor law and labor history, William Forbath challenges this notion of American “individualism.” In fact, he argues, the nineteenth-century American labor movement was much like Europe’s labor movements in its social and political outlook, but in the decades around the turn of the century, the prevailing attitude of American trade unionists changed. Forbath shows that, over time, struggles with the courts and the legal order were crucial to reshaping labor’s outlook, driving the labor movement to temper its radical goals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Labor Year Book: 1917-18 The following section is devoted to a description of the progress of the international Socialist, labor and co-operative movements, by countries. Last year's material is condensed and a great deal of what occurred during the years of 1916 and 1917, the information of which could be obtained, is included. The material for this section was mainly supplied by Ludwig Lore, Associate Editor of the New York Volkzeitung, whose close acquaintance with the international movement was very helpful in the preparation of this portion of the book. The editor drew upon his own sources of information for the article on Russia and it roughly represents his interpretation of the events which occurred there up to the writing of the article. The subsequent developments seem to have substantiated the ideas set forth in the article. The last part of the book deals with the Socialist movement in the United States. Special articles on the results of the last presidential campaign, the activities of Socialists holding public office, the Unity Conference of the two Socialist parties in this country, the St. Louis Convention of the Socialist Party and an account of the results of the recent election are included in this section. The present book is almost entirely a new volume. The editor originally planned to reprint a number of valuable articles from the first volume. Lack of space forced him to omit those articles, as well as a great deal of material which was especially prepared for this edition. It will be almost a necessity for those using the Year Book to secure last year's edition in order to get the background for a great deal of material contained in this volume. The editor takes this opportunity to thank the various contributors whose ready and genuine co-operation was both an inspiration and a great aid. His gratitude is especially due to David P. Berenberg and Spencer Brodney, who gave a great deal of their time and ability to editorial work; to George N. Cohen, who diligently read the proofs, to Frank V. Anderson, who helped with the index and to Edith Heller and Rosalind Kohn who read copy and proofs. The editor again enters his request for helpful criticism and suggestions for guidance in preparation of future editions.
