Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the problematic relationship between unions and the unemployed in New York City during the 1990's. Historically, trade unions in the U.S. have had an interest in the political mobilization of the jobless to expand unemployment insurance and lessen the threat of lower wages, reduced union density, and weaker bargaining positions for unions. Despite these advantages, trade unions have rarely organized the unemployed, because they represent a potential threat to the organizational control, leadership, and legitimacy of the trade unions themselves. Moreover, the interests of the unemployed conflict directly with those of the securely employed trade unionist. The study identifies union responses to unemployment at local and regional levels and the responses of independent activist organizations. The research suggests that hiring hall unions produce exclusive organizing strategies that have deeper accountability to their members, but with organizing objectives that serve only the narrow interests of core members. By contrast, workplace-based unions typically engender class-oriented unions with narrow accountability to members, but with organizing objectives that extend beyond their immediate members.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, New Yorkers have been surprised to see workers they had taken for granted—Mexicans in greengroceries, West African supermarket deliverymen and South Asian limousine drivers—striking, picketing, and seeking support for better working conditions. Suddenly, businesses in New York and the nation had changed and were now dependent upon low-paid immigrants to fill the entry-level jobs that few native-born Americans would take. Immigrants, Unions, and the New U.S. Labor Market tells the story of these workers' struggle for living wages, humane working conditions, and the respect due to all people. It describes how they found the courage to organize labor actions at a time when most laborers have become quiescent and while most labor unions were ignoring them. Showing how unions can learn from the example of these laborers, and demonstrating the importance of solidarity beyond the workplace, Immanuel Ness offers a telling look into the lives of some of America's newest immigrants.

LONGMANS, GREEN, AND CO. 39 PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON NEW YORK, BOMBAY, AND CALCUTTA PREFACE. BY VISCOUNT MILNER. For years past no word has been more constantly on the lips of all men interested in social questions than the word unemployment. And latterly it has also played a leading part in our political controversies. There is a profound difference of opinion between Tariff Reformers and the supporters of " Free Trade " as to the fiscal arrangements best calculated to improve the amount and the character of employment in this country. But the more thoughtful members of both the contending parties are agreed that fiscal arrangements, however deeply they affect the amount and character of employment, are not the only factor in the case, and that, with our modern industrial system, seasons of unemployment will, in a greater or less degree, continue to threaten the workman, whatever fiscal policy we may adopt. As Mr. Jackson well puts it in his opening chapter, "it is clear that side by side with any fiscal reform and any general social policy certain measures specifically directed against unemployment are necessary." This book is the careful attempt of an expert, and a life-long student of industrial conditions, to indicate the lines which such measures ought to follow 212288 As such it is, as it seems to me, entitled to the thoughtful attention of all those, who have the welfare of the wageearning classes really at heart, and in considering its arguments Tariff Reformers and Free Traders alike can afford for the nonce to lay their differences on the fiscal question on one side. And a thorough study of the subject is an urgent necessity at the present time. The State is now definitely committed to an active policy with regard to...
