The Bosses' Union - How Employers Organized to Fight Labor before the New Deal (Paperback): Vilja Hulden The Bosses' Union - How Employers Organized to Fight Labor before the New Deal (Paperback)
Vilja Hulden
R740 Discovery Miles 7 400 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

At the opening of the twentieth century, labor strife repeatedly racked the nation. Union organization and collective bargaining briefly looked like a promising avenue to stability. But both employers and many middle-class observers remained wary of unions exercising independent power. Vilja Hulden reveals how this tension provided the opening for pro-business organizations to shift public attention from concerns about inequality and dangerous working conditions to a belief that unions trampled on an individual's right to work. Inventing the term closed shop, employers mounted what they called an open-shop campaign to undermine union demands that workers at unionized workplaces join the union. Employer organizations lobbied Congress to resist labor's proposals as tyrannical, brought court cases to taint labor's tactics as illegal, and influenced newspaper coverage of unions. While employers were not a monolith nor all-powerful, they generally agreed that unions were a nuisance. Employers successfully leveraged money and connections to create perceptions of organized labor that still echo in our discussions of worker rights.

Workers against the City - The Fight for Free Speech in Hague v. CIO (Paperback): Donald W. Rogers Workers against the City - The Fight for Free Speech in Hague v. CIO (Paperback)

The 1939 Supreme Court decision Hague v. CIO was a constitutional milestone that strengthened the right of Americans, including labor organizers, to assemble and speak in public places. Donald W. Rogers eschews the prevailing view of the case as a morality play pitting Jersey City, New Jersey, political boss Frank Hague against the Committee for Industrial Organization (CIO) and allied civil libertarian groups. Instead, he draws on a wide range of archives and evidence to re-evaluate Hague v. CIO from the ground up. Rogers's review of the case from district court to the Supreme Court illuminates the trial proceedings and provides perspectives from both sides. As he shows, the economic, political, and legal restructuring of the 1930s refined constitutional rights as much as the court case did. The final decision also revealed that assembly and speech rights change according to how judges and lawmakers act within the circumstances of a given moment. Clear-eyed and comprehensive, Workers against the City revises the view of a milestone case that continues to impact Americans' constitutional rights today.

R384 Discovery Miles 3 840 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

With an estimated 20% of working women leaving their job or taking a lesser role because they are struggling to deal with menopause symptoms, there has never been a more urgent need for better education about this all too often taboo subject. Women feel confused and frustrated with the lack of support from health practitioners and often feel embarrassed or scared to raise the subject at work for fear of ridicule or judgement. And yet, women over 50 are the fastest growing sector of the UK workforce, with more than 80% of the 4.4 million working women currently dealing with menopause. This book provides a no-nonsense guide to help women not only get clear on what menopause is but also what they can do about it.

Das Konzept Deutschheit - Studien Ueber Eduard Spranger (German, Hardcover): Klaus Himmelstein Das Konzept Deutschheit - Studien Ueber Eduard Spranger (German, Hardcover)
Klaus Himmelstein
R1,440 Discovery Miles 14 400 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Die zehn Studien des Buches uber den Philosophen und Padagogen Eduard Spranger (1882-1963) vermitteln das politische Portrat eines konservativen Intellektuellen. Spranger beteiligte sich in der ersten Halfte des 20. Jahrhunderts, in wechselnden Herrschaftsverhaltnissen, intensiv an der ideologischen Auseinandersetzung um die nationale und kulturelle Identitat. In der Einheit des Deutschseins - unter Ausschluss alles Nichtdeutschen, besonders des Judischen - wollte Spranger die Gegensatze in der deutschen Gesellschaft und die wachsende Komplexitat des modernen Lebens imaginar aufheben. Das Ideal der "Deutschheit" sollte Individualitat und Staatlichkeit versoehnen. Spranger fasste diese Vorstellung in die Formel: Durchseelung des Staates und Durchstaatlichung der Seele.

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.

Lorenzo Costaguta
R2,414 Discovery Miles 24 140 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

As the United States transformed into an industrial superpower, American socialists faced the vexing question of how to approach race. Lorenzo Costaguta balances intellectual and institutional history to illuminate the clash between two major points of view. On one side, white supremacists believed labor should accept and apply the ascendant tenets of scientific theories of race. But others stood with International Workingmen’s Association leaders J. P. McDonnell and F. A. Sorge in rejecting the idea that racial and ethnic division influenced worker-employer relations, arguing instead that class played the preeminent role. Costaguta charts the socialist movement’s journey through the conflict and down a path that ultimately abandoned scientific racism in favor of an internationalist class-focused and racial-conscious American socialism. As he shows, the shift relied on a strong immigrant influence personified by the cosmopolitan Marxist thinker and future IWW cofounder Daniel De Leon. The class-focused movement that emerged became American socialism’s most common approach to race in the twentieth century and beyond.

Thomas A. Castillo
R2,360 Discovery Miles 23 600 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In the early twentieth century, Miami cultivated an image of itself as a destination for leisure and sunshine free from labor strife. Thomas A. Castillo unpacks this idea of class harmony and the language that articulated its presence by delving into the conflicts, repression, and progressive grassroots politics of the time. Castillo pays particular attention to how class and race relations reflected and reinforced the nature of power in Miami. Class harmony argued against the existence of labor conflict, but in reality obscured how workers struggled within the city's service-oriented seasonal economy. Castillo shows how and why such an ideal thrived in Miami's atmosphere of growth and boosterism and amidst the political economy of tourism. His analysis also presents class harmony as a theoretical framework that broadens our definitions of class conflict and class consciousness.

Making the World Safe for Workers - Labor, the Left, and Wilsonian Internationalism (Paperback): Elizabeth McKillen Making the World Safe for Workers - Labor, the Left, and Wilsonian Internationalism (Paperback)
Elizabeth McKillen
R714 Discovery Miles 7 140 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

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.

Agnieszka Paczynska
R1,152 Discovery Miles 11 520 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.
