Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Labor Spy Racket
I have tried to write such a book.' My task, as I saw it, was to become thoroughly familiar with the complete text and select therefrom, and then organize, those highlights that tell the story. It is a shocking story. It is a story which should shame our indus trialists and arouse our workers. It is a story which should cause all fair-minded Americans to rise up in their wrath and demand that immediate steps be taken to prevent what has happened here from ever happening again.
Only that part of the committee's work which pertains to Labor Spies is dealt with in these pages. The related topics of strike breaking and industry's traffic in tear gas and munitions receive little attention, primarily because they have been so fully treated in I Break Strikes by Edward Levinson, and because it was important to keep the book as short and simple as possible.

Excerpt from The Labor Spy Racket
Most of the material in this book is based on the evidence introduced in the hearings before the Subcommittee of the Committee on Education and Labor of the United States Senate, popularly known as the La Follette Civil Liberties Committee. The hearings were reported in the press, but for obvious reasons the press accounts could not be full enough. The complete text has been printed by the Government Printing Office - 2,500,000 words of stenographic records to date, published in eight volumes with perhaps twice that number still to come. An obvious need, lest this vitally important material be buried on committee shelves, was a short book that would fall between the too-short newspaper account and the too-long stenographic record.
I have tried to write such a book. My task, as I saw it, was to become thoroughly familiar with the complete text and select therefrom, and then organize, those highlights that tell the story. It is a shocking story. It is a story which should shame our industrialists and arouse our workers. It is a story which should cause all fair-minded Americans to rise up in their wrath and demand that immediate steps be taken to prevent what has happened here from ever happening again.

I am deeply indebted to the following for their advice and help: Max Lerner, David J. Saposs, Edwin S. Smith, and my wife.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers an insidious secret haunting labor unions in the 1930s: labor spies. Their sole purpose? Union prevention and disintegration. The author meticulously pieces together sworn testimonies from victims and perpetrators alike to reveal the inner workings of this nefarious scheme. The author deftly sets this practice within the context of the labor movement's struggle for recognition and fair treatment. Through detailed case studies, the book exposes the tactics employed by spy agencies to infiltrate and sabotage union organizing efforts. It delves into the psychological toll on workers living in constant fear of losing their jobs for exercising their right to organize. The book goes beyond mere exposure; it explores the ethical and societal implications of labor espionage. The author questions the erosion of civil liberties and democratic principles when corporations prioritize profit over workers' rights. This book serves as a stark reminder of the lengths to which some employers will go to suppress workers' voices. It underscores the importance of vigilance in safeguarding the fundamental rights of workers to organize and bargain collectively for better working conditions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332294022_0
