Book excerpt: A superb history of labor on the East Coast waterfront that may be the best account we have, not only of the industry, but of any sector of labor relations. Mello combines a thoroughly researched discussion of the behavior of elites--employers, government, and union officials--with a story of the heroic resistance of rank-and-file dockers to the best laid plans of their adversaries.--Stanley Aronowitz, CUNY Graduate Center. There exists a hidden history of post-World War II New York and East Coast waterfront labor relations. During this era, dockworkers fought an ongoing battle against shipping companies, local police, federal and state political authorities, and their own corrupt union leadership. New York Longshoremen reveals how labor relations on the docks were driven from below by radical and reform rank-and-file movements led by communists, Catholics, and local union leaders. William Mello uncovers this little-known history that depicts the impact of state and local politics and political institutions on the labor movement in postwar America. He looks at power and collective action, as well as institutional and social movements, specifically analyzing the intersection of labor and its impact on political development. Interviews, meticulous examinations of newspaper accounts, official reports, rank-and-file newsletters, and oral histories establish the contours of Mello's work. This rich historical account illustrates how ordinary workers defied the combined powers of elites and sporadically imposed their will on labor relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Longshoremen In this story of the longshoremen are found some of the conditions which have produced and will produce, as long as they are allowed to continue, the distress and dislocation of healthy community life which came so forcibly to the front and so stirred us in the years 1914 and 1915. The investigation on which this report is based was made by Mr. Barnes when a fellow of the Bureau of Social Research of the New York School of Philanthropy, chiefly in the years 1910 and 1911. Mr. Barnes' study of longshoremen and their work was an intimate and careful one. Its aim is to give a picture of the men, of the conditions of labor which affect them, of the relations existing between them and their employers and bosses, and of their own efforts to co-operate with one another in trying to improve their lot in life. The facts have been gathered from all available sources and every effort has been made to make the study as comprehensive and impartial as possible. Mr. Barnes has succeeded in producing a valuable and trustworthy contribution to the history of an important industry. The report shows clearly some of the more conspicuous and harmful forms of intermittent employment and casual labor, due partly to special features of the shipping trade and partly to over-competition of labor. Extraordinarily long continuous hours, and even days, of work result in exhaustion and breakdown. Lack of possible physical safeguards against accidents, as well as inadequate supervision over the men, results in unnecessary injuries and death. Lack of places where men may wait when work is not going on or where they may eat and sit during the lunch hour drives them into innumerable saloons which invite them continually with sympathetic hospitality.

Book Synopsis Battling for American Labor by : Howard Kimeldorf
Download or read book Battling for American Labor written by Howard Kimeldorf and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1999-12 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This riveting, nuanced book takes seriously the workplace radicalism of many early twentieth century American workers. The restriction of working class militancy to the workplace, it shows, was no mere economism. Organizational rather than psychological in orientation, Battling For American Labor accounts for both the early preference of dockworkers in Philadelphia and hotel and restaurant workers in New York for the IWW rather than the AFL and for the reversal of this choice in the 1920s. In so doing, it points the way to a fresh reading of American labor history."—Ira Katznelson, Columbia University "Howard Kimeldorf's book, based on sound and solid historical research in archives, newspapers, journals, memoirs and oral histories, argues that workers in the United States, regardless of their precise union affiliation, harbored syndicalist tendencies which manifested themselves in direct action on the job. Because Kimeldorf's book reinterprets much of the history of the labor movement in the United States, it will surely generate much controversy among scholars and capture the attention of readers."—Melvyn Dubofsky, Binghamton University, SUNY "Howard Kimeldorf's new book is a very exciting accomplishment. This book will surely leave a major imprint on labor history and the sociology of labor. Kimeldorf's focus on repertoires of collective action and practice instead of ideology is a particularly important contribution; one that will force students of labor to rethink many worn-out arguments. After reading Battling For American Labor, one will no longer be able to assume the IWW's defeat was inevitable, or take seriously psychological theories of worker consciousness."—David Wellman, author of The Union Makes Us Strong
