Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Labor Problems
This book is intended to be what its title suggests-an introduction to the study of the problems of industrial relations. Its main purposes are to acquaint the student and the general reader with the facts and conditions that influence these relations, and to describe and evaluate the important remedies that have been proposed and applied.
The problems of industrial relations are the resultants of ascertainable causes, of material and subjective forces that function persistently in the evolution of industrial society. These problems cannot be understood apart from the experiences of the past and the conditions of the present. Yet no set of problems has evoked more superficial judgment and more unwarranted conclusions. There is imperative need for careful examination of the factors that enter into industrial strife. The causes of unrest are anchored deep in the organization and operation of industry; strikes and lockouts are symptomatic of unremedied but remediable maladjustments in the industrial system. Ultimately, improvement can come only through a general sympathetic appreciation of human forces in industry and complete knowledge of those conditions of production and distribution that stifle self-expression, balk fundamental instincts and desires, prevent the development of personality, and breed incessant antagonism and strife. The acquisition of such knowledge and the development of sympathetic appreciation constitute a first duty of constructive citizenship. This book is offered in the hope that it may contribute something to a broader understanding of the serious problems of capital and labor. The field is so comprehensive that only a general outline is possible within the limits of a single volume. The references at the close of each chapter will assist the reader in making a more intensive study of the subjects discussed.

Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces readers to the insights of industrial relations by examining how they evolved in England and the United States. It begins with a discussion of the nature of today's labor problems and the varying ideas surrounding them. The author suggests we must first understand the evolutionary nature of our industrial and social life, including institutions like private property, freedom of contract, and wage systems. He then traces the development of labor problems and trade unionism in both nations, showing how the invention of new machinery, changes in transportation, and other technological and economic advances have forced the industrial landscape to adapt. From child and women labor to immigration and unemployment, this book delves into the very real problems faced by working people, and how society and industry have attempted to provide solutions. It traces the history of labor laws and social insurance, and discusses the potential value of profit sharing and other incentives. By the end, the author has provided a broad, nuanced overview of the complex relationships between employers and employees that influence our world today.
