Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the various tactics used by employers to combat trade unionism in the United States, particularly since the end of the First World War when the American economy boomed and workers' rights were suppressed. The author focuses on the "American Plan," a euphemism for the open shop or non-union shop, which was promoted through propaganda campaigns and intimidation tactics. The author also examines the role of business associations, such as the National Association of Manufacturers, in promoting and organizing these attacks on labor unions. These associations used a variety of methods to undermine unions, including the use of spies, strikebreaking, and the promotion of company unions. The author argues that the rise of the "American Plan" reflected the growing power of the American business class and their determination to maintain control over the workplace. The book concludes with a discussion of the ways in which labor unions have fought back against these attacks, demonstrating the importance of collective action and solidarity in the face of adversity.
