Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the gritty and fascinating history of longshoring in the United States, focusing on the starkly contrasting hiring systems that evolved on the East and West Coasts: the "shape-up" and the hiring hall. Through the lens of the New York waterfront and the Seattle docks, the author meticulously examines these systems, revealing their profound impact on labor relations and union dynamics. The shape-up, with its casual and often exploitative nature, fostered a culture of racketeering and corruption within the International Longshoremen's Association. In contrast, the hiring hall, established in Seattle, offered greater stability and job security, shaping a more collaborative relationship between the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union and employers. By juxtaposing these two systems, the author probes the complex interplay of power, corruption, and the struggle for workers' rights that has marked the history of this industry. This book ultimately illuminates how seemingly mundane operational differences can have profound consequences for the lives of workers and the character of their unions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780243186006_0
