Zustand: FINE. First printing. A book which, based on three years of ethnographic research, "takes a close look at one of the CIO unions that did not move from craft to business unionism: the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union's (ILWU) major longshore local (Local 10, San Francisco). American unionism looks quite different than conventional scholarly wisdom suggests when actual union practices are observed. One finds that in the ILWU, resistance to management's authority is collectively legitimated behavior, and explicitly acknowledged as good trade unionism. . . This case study suggests that militant, democratic forms of unionism are possible in the United States; and that collective bargaining need not eliminate contests for control over the workplace." One review called this "the best description and appraisal yet written about the strengths, traditions and problems of the ILWU on the waterfront since the 1930s." Footnotes, appendix, references, name index and subject index. xix, 364 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - American labour history is typically interpreted by scholars as a history of defeat. Hidden by this conventional wisdom are a handful of militant unions that did not follow the putative Congress of Industrial Organizations trajectory. Based on three years of ethnographic research, this book examines a union that organised itself to systematically challenge management's rule on the shopfloor: San Francisco's longshore union. American unionism looks quite different than conventional wisdom suggests when everyday union practices are observed. American labour's trajectory, this book argues, is neither inevitable nor determined; militant, democratic forms of unionism are possible in the United States; and collective bargaining does not automatically eliminate contests for workplace control. The contract is a bargain that reflects and reproduces fundamental disagreement; it states how production and conflict will proceed.…
