Das Interesse fur das Problem "Werksgemeinschaft" ist standig im Wachsen. Aus allen Erorterungen ist aber erkennbar, dass sowohl uber die Entstehung der Werksgemeinschafts bewegung als auch uber den Begriff Werksgemeinschaft noch grosste Unklarheit herrscht. Der Verfasser des ersten Teils der vorliegeRden Schrift hat sich die Aufgabe gestellt, die historische Entwicklung des Werksgemeinschaftsgedankens zu zeigen und gleichzeitig aus dem Schrifttum uber die Werksgemeinschaft das, was Wesentliches uber Idee, Wesen und Organisation gesagt wird, zusammenzufassen und soweit erforderlich kritisch zu beleuchten. Dem Verfasser des zweiten Teiles dagegen kommt es darauf an, die Idee der Werksgemeinschaft auf ihren soziologisch-syste matischen Gehalt zu untersuchen und ihre Fundamentierung und Gestaltung dem sozialwissenschaftlichen Denken der Gegen- wart naherzubringen. Es handelt sich in dieser Doppelschrift nicht um eine wirt schaftspolitische Programmschrift. In aller Sachlichkeit und auf wissenschaftlicher Grundlage soll das Wesen und Werden der "Werksgemeinschaft" gezeigt werden, wie es sich uns gegenwartig darstellt und weitere Ent-wicklungsmoglichkeiten bietet.

Seit der Zeit, da das Handwerk Klagen erhoben hat, daB as die Ausbildung der gelernten Facharbeiter fiir die Industrie allein zu besorgen habe, hat die Frage des Arbeiternachwuchses fiir die Industrie in immer weiteren Kreisen an Interesse gewonnen. Hierbei wurden zunii.chst nur die gelernten Arbeiter beriicksichtigt, erst spii.ter trat die Sorge ffir die ungelernten Arbeiter, die Meister und zuletzt fiir die angelernten Arbeiter hinzu. In der vorliegenden Arbeit sind die Verha.I.tnisse geschildert, wie sie sich in einem der wichtigsten Zweige der Industrie, der del' Maschinen, darstellen. FUr Vberlassung von Material bin ich zu Dank verpflichtet der Maschinenfabrik Thyssen & Co. A. G., Miilheim (Ruhr), der Maschinen fabrik Augsburg-Niirnberg-A. G., Niirnberg, der Ludwig Lowe-A.

Enlisting memory in a new fight for freedom From the Gilded Age through the Progressive era, labor movements reinterpreted Abraham Lincoln as a liberator of working people while workers equated activism with their own service fighting for freedom during the war. Matthew E. Stanley explores the wide-ranging meanings and diverse imagery used by Civil War veterans within the sprawling radical politics of the time. As he shows, a rich world of rituals, songs, speeches, and newspapers emerged among the many strains of working class cultural politics within the labor movement. Yet tensions arose even among allies. Some people rooted Civil War commemoration in nationalism and reform, and in time, these conservative currents marginalized radical workers who tied their remembering to revolution, internationalism, and socialism. An original consideration of meaning and memory, Grand Army of Labor reveals the complex ways workers drew on themes of emancipation and equality in the long battle for workers’ rights.

In this intellectually ambitious study, Elizabeth McKillen explores the significance of Wilsonian internationalism for workers and the influence of American labor in both shaping and undermining the foreign policies and war mobilization efforts of Woodrow Wilson's administration. McKillen highlights the major fault lines that emerged within labor circles as Wilson pursued his agenda in the context of Mexican and European revolutions, World War I, and the Versailles Peace Conference. McKillen's spotlight falls on the American Federation of Labor, whose leadership collaborated extensively with Wilson, assisting with propaganda, policy, and diplomacy. At the same time, other labor groups (and even sub-groups within the AFL) vehemently opposed Wilsonian internationalism. As McKillen shows, the choice to collaborate with or resist U.S. foreign policy remained an important one for labor throughout the twentieth century. In fact, it continues to resonate today in debates over the global economy, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the impact of U.S. policies on workers at home and abroad.

In response to mounting debt crises and macroeconomic instability in the 1980s, many countries in the developing world adopted neoliberal policies promoting the unfettered play of market forces and deregulation of the economy and attempted large-scale structural adjustment, including the privatization of public-sector industries. How much influence did various societal groups have on this transition to a market economy, and what explains the variances in interest-group influence across countries?

In this book, Agnieszka Paczyńska explores these questions by studying the role of organized labor in the transition process in four countries in different regions--the Czech Republic and Poland in eastern Europe, Egypt in the Middle East, and Mexico in Latin America. In Egypt and Poland, she shows, labor had substantial influence on the process, whereas in the Czech Republic and Mexico it did not. Her explanation highlights the complex relationship between institutional structures and the "critical junctures" provided by economic crises, revealing that the ability of groups like organized labor to wield influence on reform efforts depends to a great extent on not only their current resources (such as financial autonomy and legal prerogatives) but also the historical legacies of their past ties to the state.

This new edition features an epilogue that analyzes the role of organized labor uprisings in 2011, the protests in Egypt, the overthrow of Mubarak, and the post-Mubarak regime.

Recognized as an authoritative treatment of an important subject area, and presented in a conversational and straightforward style, Industrial Hygiene Simplified, Second Edition is an updated edition of the original, well-received textbook. Industrial Hygiene Simplified is valuable and accessible for use by those involved in such disciplines as industrial technology, manufacturing technology, industrial engineering technology, occupational safety, management, and supervision. This book is ideal for those needing a refresh on industrial hygiene concepts and practices they may not use regularly, as well as those practitioners preparing for the Certified Industry Hygiene (CIH) exam. Because it is a dynamic discipline, there is no question about the field of industrial hygiene having undergone significant change over the past four decades. Some of the reasons for this change include technological innovations that have introduced new hazards in the workplace, increased pressure from regulatory agencies, realization by industrial executives that a safe and healthy workplace is typically a more productive and litigious-free workplace, skyrocketing health care and worker's compensation costs, and increased pressure from environmental groups and the public. These factors have created a need for an up-to-date and user-friendly book in industrial hygiene that contains the latest information for those who practice this profession in the age of high technology and escalating on-the-job injuries with accompanying increased health care costs. New features in the second edition of Industrial Hygiene Simplified include: *Presentation in lesson format *End-of-chapter review questions *"Did You Know" pertinent facts *Applicable and important math operations

The author shares lessons that took him over twenty-five years to learn. As a safety professional he worked from the ground up, working from government to the private sector. He hopes to shorten the learning curve for people who are directly responsible for workplace safety He talks about the future of safety and how it will continue to impact profitability. He helps leaders develop the right philosophy that builds profitable teams that are willing to support a highly regarded safety vision. There are basic safety programs the author sees as inadequate because they are poorly managed having little if any positive impact, but, with the mix of philosophy and leadership skill, these weaknesses can be shored up to reduce the pain and cost of workplace injuries. There are also time-tested strategies that will short-cut the learning process to help anyone achieve greater organizational success Randy Powell uses 'Safety' and his 20 years of experience as the foundation for helping organizations become 'Best-In Class' within their industries. He's a high-energy, motivational speaker, trainer and consultant who speaks to organizations of all sizes on safety, leadership and successful attitudes.

In this collection of firsthand accounts by those who knew Cesar Chavez best, a portrait of an uncommonly complex man, both driven and focused, yet humble, empathic and exceedingly principled, emerges. The reader gains an understanding of the yoke Chavez chose to place upon his own shoulders, as well as the ideals he employed to accomplish for the migrant farmworkers what many predicted would be impossible. The more than 45 contributors range from the famous--Edward James Olmos, Henry Cisneros, Martin Sheen, Coretta Scott King, Jerry Brown and others--to members of the Chavez family, to UFW staff, to the farmworkers themselves. Illustrated by the compelling black and white photographs of George Elfie Ballis, who began photographing the farmworker movement in the 1950s.
