Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first all-primary source reader in labor history published in nearly one hundred years, The Voice of the People presents excerpts from fifty-four primary sources to blend labor history’s traditional focus on the growth of a union movement with windows into all aspects of workers lives—their workplaces, their unions, their home lives and their culture—the engaging selections mirroring the great diversity of the American workforce from the colonial era to the present. Arranged into four parts, each of which begins with an original overview of the corresponding period in American history, this unique compilation of edited documents—each of which is preceded by a contextual introduction—offers students the opportunity to explore for themselves how specific events as well as general trends in American labor history affected real people, whether farm laborers, slaves, servants, mill hands, prostitutes, assembly-line workers, office temps, fast-food employees, or union leaders. While its organization and diverse range make it an excellent companion to Harlan Davidson’s popular Labor in America,* The Voice of the People can also stand alone or be used as an engaging supplement for any course in labor or United States history.

Book Synopsis Who Rules America Now? by : G. William Domhoff
Download or read book Who Rules America Now? written by G. William Domhoff and published by Touchstone. This book was released on 1986 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author is convinced that there is a ruling class in America today. He examines the American power structure as it has developed in the 1980s. He presents systematic, empirical evidence that a fixed group of privileged people dominates the American economy and government. The book demonstrates that an upper class comprising only one-half of one percent of the population occupies key positions within the corporate community. It shows how leaders within this "power elite" reach government and dominate it through processes of special-interest lobbying, policy planning and candidate selection. It is written not to promote any political ideology, but to analyze our society with accuracy.

This book was released on 2016-12-25 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Labor Year Book, 1926, Vol. 7 Redoubled effort has been made, in preparing this issue of the american labor year book, to turn out a volume of practical usefulness to the practical worker in the trade union and labor political ranks. Into the following pages has been packed as much as possible of the information which the worker needs in his trade union meeting, in noon-hour discussions with his fellow-workingmen, or on the stand for his political party, to back up his arguments and drive home his points. In wage negotiations, laying out union tactics, or shaping political programs, knowledge of the facts Of industry and of what the other branches Of the labor movement are doing is essential. To search through the multitude of Official reports and books on any industrial subject - or even to discover what books and reports exist on it - is Often beyond the limited time and energy Of the worker. To condense into useable size, and to interpret accurately the information gathered, may be beyond the limited experience Of one not accustomed to handling statistics. His to meet the needs Of this situation that the american labor year book is written. The first section, on Industrial and Labor Conditions, has been nearly doubled in size. Here will be found, in easily understood form, figures on industrial production, corporation profits, new mergers and trusts, the workers' share in the product Of industry, the trend Of wages, hours, unemployment, child labor, and related subjects, collected from widely scattered sources. Probably no equal number of pages anywhere else will give so clear a picture of the conditions which today confront the mass of American workers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “His aim is to make the history of labor in the U.S. more accessible to students and the general reader. He succeeds” (Booklist). In a blend of economic, social, and political history, Paul Le Blanc shows how important labor issues have been, and continue to be, in the forging of our nation. Within a broad analytical framework, he highlights issues of class, gender, race, and ethnicity, and includes the views of key figures of United States labor. The result is a thought-provoking look at centuries of American history from a perspective that is too often ignored or forgotten. “An excellent overview, enhanced by a valuable glossary.” —Elaine Bernard, director of the Harvard Trade Union Program
