Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the effects of trade union regulations on the construction sector in Boston, Massachusetts during the early 20th century. The author argues that regulations imposed by unions have become unduly burdensome and restrictive, resulting in increased costs and reduced efficiency. The author provides numerous examples of how union rules have led to absurd and wasteful practices, such as requiring a union foreman to be present even when no work is being done, or prohibiting the use of labor-saving devices. The author also criticizes the closed shop system, which has given unions a monopoly over the construction industry in Boston and has led to the exclusion of non-union workers. The book concludes that the construction industry in Boston is in crisis and that drastic changes are needed to restore competition, efficiency, and fairness to the industry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
