THE UNITED BROTHERHOOD OF CARPENTERS : THE FIRST HUNDRED YEARS
Galenson, Walter
02871872 Hard Cover. As New/Fair - Much Wear'n Tear Jacket. 6 x 9". From its inception in 1881, the Carpenters' union embraced the capitalist system and worked to improve productivity. This resulted in higher wage scales, greater leisure, improvements in technology to stretch construction work over the winter months, increased fringe benefits, job security during inter-union disputes - particularly when AFL and the CIO emerged as competitors - and advances by minorities and blacks. This 442 page volume, long out of print, is based on a thorough reading of archival materials, including: Union records, diaries, minutes of local and affiliated unions, and primary sources from the AFL-CIO. The author blends narrative with shrewd intuitive analysis to provide an indespensable source for labor and economic historians and students of labor movements. Cambridge, MA, U.S.A.: Harvard University Press, 1983
