Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history and purpose of the trade union movement in America at the turn of the 20th century. As the author states, this was a time when industrialization was rapidly transforming the country, giving rise to enormous factories and corporations. The book argues that trade unions were a natural and essential response to this transformation, providing workers with the means to protect their interests and negotiate fair wages and working conditions. The author presents a compelling case for the trade union, asserting that it is a legitimate business institution that serves to promote social stability and prevent revolutionary violence. The book examines the rise of unions in the face of hostile capitalist forces, and highlights the unions' success in reducing the hours of labor and combating the oppressive truck store system. It also details the importance of strikes, arguing that they are a necessary means of achieving industrial justice and ultimately, a vital element of democracy. This book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking perspective on the history and significance of the trade union movement, shedding light on the crucial role it played in shaping the American landscape. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
