Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the burgeoning movement among American industrial employers at the turn of the 20th century to improve the lives of their workers. It explores a range of initiatives undertaken by companies, including the establishment of industrial schools and training programs, profit-sharing plans, and the creation of recreational facilities. The author places this movement within the context of the era's labor relations, highlighting the recognition by employers that improved worker well-being led to greater efficiency and reduced industrial unrest. The book examines the diverse forms these efforts took, encompassing not only financial incentives but also physical, social, intellectual, moral, and domestic improvements. Examples include the provision of housing, healthcare, educational opportunities, and social activities, all aimed at fostering a more harmonious and productive relationship between employers and employees. The book's thematic depth lies in its exploration of the motivations behind this movement, ranging from genuine concern for worker welfare to the desire for increased productivity and social control. It raises questions about the balance between paternalism and empowerment, and the long-term impact of these initiatives on the lives of workers and the structure of American industry. Ultimately, the book offers valuable insights into a pivotal period in American industrial history, shedding light on the evolving relationship between employers and employees and the complex factors that shaped working-class life at the dawn of the 20th century.
