Why has labor played a more limited role in national politics in
the United States than it has in other advanced industrial
societies? Victoria Hattam demonstrates that voluntarism, as
American labor's policy was known, was the American Federation of
Labor's strategic response to the structure of the American state,
particularly to the influence of American courts. The AFL's
strategic calculation was not universal, however. This book reveals
the competing ideologies and acts of interpretation that produced
these variations in state-labor relations. Originally published in
1993. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
