The UMWA Welfare and Retirement Fund functioned as a privatized version of Social Security and pioneered the idea that medical...

Globalization and the Politics of Pay examines the economic, political, and social causes and consequences of declining wages in...

In cities and counties across the country Americans are asserting their right to a job at a living wage.

Labor of Fire: The Ontology of Labor Between Economy and Culture
ISBN: 9781592131129 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Labor of Fire, Bruno Gull? offers a timely and much needed re-examination of the concept of labor. Distinguishing between "productive labor" (working for money or subsistence) and "living labor" (working for artistic creation), Gull? convincingly argues for a definition of work that recognizes the importance of artistic and social creativity to our definition of labor and the self. Gull? lays the groundwork for his book by offering a critique of productive labor, and then maps out his productive/living labor distinction in detail, reviewing the work of Marx and others.

Broken Promise: The Subversion of U.S. Labor Relations
ISBN: 9781592132256 / Angielski / Miękka / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Wagner Act of 1935 (later the Wagner-Taft-Hartley Act of 1947) was intended to democratize vast numbers of American workplaces: the federal government was to encourage worker organization and the substitution of collective bargaining for employers' unilateral determination of vital work-place matters. Yet this system of industrial democracy was never realized; the promise was "broken." In this rare inside look at the process of government regulation over the last forty-five years, James A. Gross analyzes why the promise of the policy was never fulfilled. Gross looks at how the National...
