Download or read book The End of American Labor Unions written by Raymond L. Hogler and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-03-30 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By examining the history of the legal regulation of union actions, this fascinating book offers a new interpretation of American labor-law policy—and its harmful impact on workers today. Arguing that the decline in union membership and bargaining power is linked to rising income inequality, this important book traces the evolution of labor law in America from the first labor-law case in 1806 through the passage of right-to-work legislation in Michigan and Indiana in 2012. In doing so, it shares important insights into economic development, exploring both the nature of work in America and the part the legal system played—and continues to play—in shaping the lives of American workers. The book illustrates the intertwined history of labor law and politics, showing how these forces quashed unions in the 19th century, allowed them to flourish in the mid-20th century, and squelched them again in recent years. Readers will learn about the negative impact of union decline on American workers and how that decline has been influenced by political forces. They will see how the right-to-work and Tea Party movements have combined to prevent union organizing, to the detriment of the middle class. And they will better understand the current failure to reform labor law, despite a consensus that unions can protect workers without damaging market efficiencies.

Download or read book American Automobile Workers 1900 1933 written by Joyce Shaw Peterson and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a first-rate social history of automobile workers in the pre-union era. I wish that I had written it. Stephen Meyer, University of Wisconsin-Parkside This book is a comprehensive history of automobile workers in the pre-union era. It covers changes in the kinds of workers who staffed the auto factories, developments in the labor process and in overall conditions of work, daily life outside the factories, informal responses of workers to routinized, monotonous, and highly structured work, and automobile worker unions before the creation of the United Automobile Workers. Although the 1920s were seen at the time as a period of peaceful and cooperative labor relations, author Joyce Peterson looks beneath the surface to discover the many ways in which auto workers expressed their displeasure with and attempted to fight against working conditions. The book also examines the Briggs strike of 1933, the first strike to significantly register the impact of the Great Depression upon the automobile industry and to mark the end of the pre-union era. The automobile industry was a model of twentieth century mass production techniques, of managerial organization, and of labor relations. Studying automobile workers in their historical and social setting explains a great deal about the nature of modern industryhow it affects the daily life and work of employees and how workers see themselves as individuals and members of a working class.

Download or read book Rethinking the American Labor Movement written by Elizabeth Faue and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rethinking the American Labor Movement tells the story of the various groups and incidents that make up what we think of as the "labor movement." While the efforts of the American labor force towards greater wealth parity have been rife with contention, the struggle has embraced a broad vision of a more equitable distribution of the nation’s wealth and a desire for workers to have greater control over their own lives. In this succinct and authoritative volume, Elizabeth Faue reconsiders the varied strains of the labor movement, situating them within the context of rapidly transforming twentieth-century American society to show how these efforts have formed a political and social movement that has shaped the trajectory of American life. Rethinking the American Labor Movement is indispensable reading for scholars and students interested in American labor in the twentieth century and in the interplay between labor, wealth, and power.

Download or read book The Politics of Right to Work written by Gilbert J. Gall and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1988-03-25 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gall has compiled a definitive study of right-to-work campaigns at the national and state levels since the early 1940s. Section 14(b) of the Federal Taft-Hartley Act allows states to pass laws prohibiting private-sector employers and unions from negotiating "union shop" clauses that require workers in unionized workplaces to become union members. As this description implies, this issue has nothing to do with serving as an ideological litmus test for organized labor's opponents and supporters. Several states have passed such laws (either via the state legislature or electoral referenda), and in several other states right-to-work proposals have been defeated, but no matter who won, these legislative and referenda campaigns were quite spirited.
