From Mission to Microchip
Author: Fred Glass
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520288408
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 542
Book Description
There is no better time than now to consider the labor history of the Golden State. While other states face declining union enrollment rates and the rollback of workersÕ rights, California unions are embracing working immigrants, and voters are protecting core worker rights. WhatÕs the difference? California has held an exceptional place in the imagination of Americans and immigrants since the Gold Rush, which saw the first of many waves of working people moving to the state to find work. From Mission to Microchip unearths the hidden stories of these people throughout CaliforniaÕs history. The difficult task of the stateÕs labor movement has been to overcome perceived barriers such as race, national origin, and language to unite newcomers and natives in their shared interest. As chronicled in this comprehensive history, workers have creatively used collective bargaining, politics, strikes, and varied organizing strategies to find common ground among CaliforniaÕs diverse communities and achieve a measure of economic fairness and social justice. This is an indispensible book for students and scholars of labor history and history of the West, as well as labor activists and organizers.Ê

Law and the Shaping of the American Labor Movement
Author: William E. Forbath
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674037081
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
Why did American workers, unlike their European counterparts, fail to forge a class-based movement to pursue broad social reform? Was it simply that they lacked class consciousness and were more interested in personal mobility? In a richly detailed survey of labor law and labor history, William Forbath challenges this notion of American “individualism.” In fact, he argues, the nineteenth-century American labor movement was much like Europe’s labor movements in its social and political outlook, but in the decades around the turn of the century, the prevailing attitude of American trade unionists changed. Forbath shows that, over time, struggles with the courts and the legal order were crucial to reshaping labor’s outlook, driving the labor movement to temper its radical goals.

See also Juno 7, 9, 14, 21, July 28. i" Twelfth Biennial Report, Bureau of Labor Statistics, pp. 88-150. The establishment of strong labor organizations throughout the state has resulted since 1900 in a general movement for the reduction of hours. The Labor Commissioner in his report for 1903-04 says that "Fewer hours of labor seem to be more desired by those who work than is more pay." Of the organizations replying to his inquiries, 68.7 per cent, showed a decrease in the hours of work without lessening of wages. In San Francisco every organization reported a recent shortening of the working-day. In other cities the percentages showing decreases in the hours of labor were as follows: Sacramento, 75 per cent.; Eureka, 50 per cent, j Fresno, 75 per cent.; Los Angeles, 35 per cent.; San Diego, 50 per cent. Of those reporting changes 55 per cent, obtained a reduction from nine to eight hours, and the remainder, with one exception, from ten to nine hours. In 60 per cent, of the cases the reduction was due to agreements with the employers or union demands, 8 per cent, were won by strikes, and 10 per cent, were given voluntarily.120 The report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics for 1905-06 shows that in San Francisco 61 per cent, of the total number of employees of the city have the nine-hour day, and only 14 per cent, work ten hours. The conditions of work in Oakland, Alameda, and Berkeley are similar to those in San Francisco. In Los Angeles, where the employers have been more successful in fighting the trade-unions, 41.4 per cent, work nine hours, and 35.9 per cent, still have the te...
