Racial Conflict and Violence in the Labor Market
Author: Cliff Brown
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 9780815331766
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Taking one of the many strikes during the period as a case study, argues that the migration of black workers to northern US cities looking for work during World War I, and the practice and pattern of racial discrimination by the mainstream labor unions created a split labor market in which black workers had no choice but to scab on strikers. Focuses on community-level race relations during the strike, and also considers the impact of local governments repressing labor, the organizational strength of local union, and employers' efforts to inflame racial tension. Developed from a 1996 Ph.D. dissertation for Emory University. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Racial Conflicts and Violence in the Labor Market
Author: Cliff Brown
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 131777650X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
This book focuses on community-level race relations during the 1919 Steel Strike, when intense job competition contributed to racial conflict among the nation's steel workers. As the Great Migration brought thousands of black workers to northern cities, their lower labor costs generated racially split labor markets in the industrial sector. Further, the discriminatory policies of labor unions forced many blacks to serve as strike breakers during periods of class conflict. As a result, the migration heightened racial conflict and undercut important union organizing initiatives. The 1919 Steel Strike illustrates how racial divisions crippled many American unions, a pattern that helps to explain the demise of organized labor during the 1920's. No previous studies of the 1919 Steel Strike have systematically compared community processes to determine how local events shaped the strike's outcome. Despite the failure of the 1919 Steel Strike, the varied experiences of workers in different communities reveal much about the causes of racial conflict and the possibilities of interracial solidarity. This study finds that patterns of black migration, local government repression of labor, the organizational strength of local unions, and employers' efforts to inflame racial tension all help to explain community-level variation in interracial solidarity and conflict.
