Unions and Communities Under Siege
ISBN: 9780521365161 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The essential argument of this book is that the current crisis facing American unions has to be considered in terms of the immediate communal context of labor-management relations. The structure of New Deal national labor legislation has sustained and maintained distinctive local labor-management practices. In response to the ever-increasing economic interdependence of American and external communities, unions have found it difficult to achieve similar scales of integration, and their fragile ideal of intercommunity solidarity has often been overwhelmed by economic imperatives operating at...

Working for the Union
ISBN: 9780521383202 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is a study of the relationship between full-time union officials and shop stewards across the whole of British industry in 1986-87. It is the first major study of union officials for twenty years, and one of the most detailed studies of workplace collective bargaining and union organization following the recession of the early 1980s. In the wake of recession, union decline and industrial restructuring, Britain is said by some commentators to be entering "a new industrial relations." This book provides a unique body of evidence that throws new light on this claim, and casts serious...

Informative and original, Labor's Struggles, 1945-1950 contains information and insights that must be included in any subsequent efforts to interpret this period in labor history. The author based this account largely on his own experience as legislative representative for the United Auto Workers-CIO from 1943 to 1947, as well as on documents and conversations from that period, supplemented with historical research. This study of policy-making in union headquarters and in Washington centers on the 1945 splits within the CIO as well as the sharp division between the "social" CIO and the...

Markets, Firms and the Management of Labour in Modern Britain
ISBN: 9780521415279 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this examination of the development of employers' personnel, human resources, and industrial relations policies in Britain in the twentieth century the author focuses on how employers organize the employment relationship, control work relations, and deal with trade unions and industrial relations. He develops an approach that emphasizes the interaction of external market forces, internal management structure and organization, and strategic choices, and argues that British employers' historical adherence to market-based strategies rather than internal strategies has had negative...

Incomparable Worth: Pay Equity Meets the Market
ISBN: 9780521441872 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Challenging proponents of equal pay for comparable worth, Steven Rhoads argues that implementation has been plagued by critical and insurmountable problems. Where success has been most frequently touted--in Minnesota, England, and Australia--job evaluation results are often arbitrary and political rather than objective.

The Union Makes Us Strong: Radical Unionism on the San Francisco Waterfront
ISBN: 9780521450058 / Angielski / Twarda / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book challenges the notion that American labor history is a history of defeated militant unionism. Focusing on the routine work practices and political culture of San Francisco's longshore union, it argues that collective bargaining does not eliminate contests over shopfloor control. The collectively bargained contract is shown to be a bargain that reflects and reproduces fundamental disagreement between management and labor. It creates the parameters within which production and conflict proceed.

Soviet Workers and the Collapse of Perestroika: The Soviet Labour Process and Gorbachev's Reforms, 1985–1991
ISBN: 9780521452922 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Soviet Workers and the Collapse of Perestroika is a comprehensive analysis of the role of labor policy in the development and ultimate collapse of Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Filtzer argues that initially perestroika was designed to modernize the Soviet economy while keeping the existing political and property relations of society intact, requiring a thorough restructuring of the labor process within Soviet industry. He contends that the collapse of the USSR has brought the solution to this problem no nearer, and that post-Soviet capitalism is rooted in...

This book examines theories of firm-level human capital investment with respect to topics in labor demand, macroeconomics (especially connected to unemployment), and firm-union bargaining. It covers a wide range of related policy issues, including the worksharing versus layoff debate, wage-tenure profiles, taxation and the choice between pure wages and profit sharing compensation, and the role of specific investment in the Japanese firm versus the traditional (United States) neoclassical firm.

Home to Work: Motherhood and the Politics of Industrial Homework in the United States
ISBN: 9780521455480 / Angielski / Miękka / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the minds of most people, the home has stood apart from the world of work. Bringing the factory or office into the home challenges this division. From the 1870s, when New York cigarmakers attempted to end tenement competition, to New Deal prohibitions in the 1930s, gender ideologies shaped the battle over homework. But by the 1980s, the middle-class mother at the keyboard replaced the victimized immigrant as the symbol of homework. Home to Work restores the voices of homeworking women to the century-long debate over their labor. The book also provides a historical context to the Reaganite...

ISBN: 9780521459198 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Labour Women is a study of the first post-suffrage generation of women members in the Labour Party and the Co-operative movement. It looks at three areas where women had an impact on the development of British social democracy between 1918 and 1939: their struggles with the male leadership; their relations with middle class feminists; and their strong showing in community politics and local government. This book combines the political history of the national organizations and events, with a social history of working class families, schools and communities.

Purchasing Power: Consumer Organizing, Gender, and the Seattle Labor Movement, 1919-1929
ISBN: 9780521467148 / Angielski / Miękka / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book analyzes consumer organizing tactics and the decline of the Seattle labor movement in the 1920s, as a case study of the U.S. labor movement in the 1920s. The book examines the transformation of the movement after the famous Seattle General Strike of 1919 by showing that workers organized not only at the point of production, but through politicized consumption as well, employing boycotts, cooperatives, labor-owned businesses, and union label promotion. It pays special attention to the gender dynamics of labor's consumer campaigns, as trade union men sought to persuade their wives to...

Willing Slaves?: British Workers Under Human Resource Management
ISBN: 9780521467193 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Willing Slaves? explores recent developments in employee relations. It argues that nowadays managers believe that winning workers' hearts and minds is a crucial element of successful management. Yet despite the introduction of new policies, managers have not succeeded in this aim. Workers still place little trust in management and the climate of relations in industry is still one of "them and us." This book argues that the only way to achieve cooperation at work is for managers to take account of workers' views when making decisions.

Citizen Worker: The Experience of Workers in the United States with Democracy and the Free Market During the Nineteenth Century
ISBN: 9780521483803 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the 1990s, democracy and market freedom are often discussed as though they were synonymous or interchangeable. What the experience of workers in the United States actually reveals is that as government became more democratic, what it could do to shape daily life became more restricted. This original and significant work examines the relationship between workers and government by focusing not on the legal regulations of unions and strikes, but on popular struggles for citizens' rights. The extent and failures of workers' efforts to exercise power through political parties provide insights...

Heroic Defeats: The Politics of Job Loss
ISBN: 9780521484329 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A comparative investigation of how unions and firms interact when economic circumstances demand substantial job loss. Using simple game theory to generate testable propositions about when these situations will result in industrial conflict, the work illustrates the theory in a range of situations between 1950 and 1985 in Japan, Italy, and Britain. Additionally, the author shows how the theory explains why strikes over job loss almost never occur in postwar unionized firms in the United States.

For Bread with Butter: The Life-Worlds of East Central Europeans in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, 1890-1940
ISBN: 9780521530637 / Angielski / Miękka / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Fifty years ago, enactment of the Wagner National Labor Relations Act gave American organized labour what it has regarded ever since as one of its greatest assets: a legislative guarantee of the right of workers to organize and bargain collectively. Yet although the Wagner Act's guarantees remain substantially unaltered, organized labour in America today is in deep decline. Addressing this apparent paradox, Christopher Tomlins offers here a critical examination of the impact of the National Labor Relations Act on American unions. By studying the intentions and goals of policy makers in the...
