Download Labor's Time: Shorter Hours, The Uaw, And The (Labor In Crisis) AudioBook Free
The activity for a shorter workweek that once described the labor activity in america was largely displaced by the new corporatist composition of organized labor in the post-New Package age. Labor's Time examines the changes that took place within organized labor and traces their affect on the drop of the shorter hour's activity. Focusing on the internal union politics of the important United Automobile Individuals and Local 600, its section at Henry Ford's substantial River Rouge manufacturing plant, Jonathan Cutler demonstrates how an all-but-forgotten interracial activity for a shorter workweek through the 1950s and 1960s became a casualty of an increasingly top-heavy union bureaucracy that lost touch with the needs, fears, and aspirations of get ranking and file staff and dug its own grave in the process.
