By Rev. John A. Ryan, D.D., Professor of Moral Theology in the Catholic University of America The subject discussed in this book has been of considerable importance for more than a century and a half. During the last fifty years strikes in the United States have increased with great and almost continuous rapidity. The average for the last few years is estimated at ten per day. Every strike causes immediate hardship to the employers and employees directly involved, and in the majority of cases to a greater or less number of other persons. Industrial hardship is almost always detrimental to human welfare, inasmuch as men cannot live right and reasonable lives unless they pos sess at least a fair degree of economic security and a fair amount of economic goods. This is entirely apart from the physical injuries to persons and property which the strike not infrequently entails.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the historical development of industrial conflict. The author traces the evolution of strikes from their origins in ancient slavery through the tumultuous Industrial Revolution to the present day, shedding light on the profound impact of these labor upheavals on the shaping of modern society. Exploring themes of justice and morality, the book examines the inherent right of workers to withhold their labor and to advocate for improved working conditions, while also acknowledging the potential for strikes to disrupt society and inflict economic harm. The author emphasizes the need to balance the rights of laborers with the interests of employers and the public, and argues that strikes should only be considered a legitimate recourse when other, less disruptive methods of conflict resolution have been exhausted. By examining numerous case studies and drawing upon insights from diverse disciplines, this book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of the morality of strikes. It challenges readers to grapple with the complex ethical, economic, and social issues surrounding labor disputes. As such, it serves as an essential resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this critical aspect of modern industrial relations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
