Summary: |
|
| Dense but interesting history of the formation of labor unions in the United States. Describes the origin and history of strikes and discusses their purpose and effectiveness. Fairly balanced look at the relationship between labor unions and employers. Text is dated and is missing the last 20 years of labor history. | |
Teaching Ideas: |
|
| Chapters could be used with teacher guidance to give more information about certain periods in history and how labor/unions affected that era. The book ends with questions about the future. Since it was written in 1985, much of the future is already known and could be research and the book info updated | |
