Against labor : how U.S. employers organized to defeat union activism

Rosemary Feurer (Editor), Chad Pearson (Editor)
Against labor highlights the amazingly successful efforts by employers to control workers while simultaneously shaping themselves into a new class. Ranging across a spectrum of understudied issues, essayists explore employer anti-labor strategies and offer incisive portraits of companies that aggressively opposed unionization. Other contributors examine the anti-labor movement against a backdrop of larger forces, such as the intersection of race and ethnicity with anti-labor activity, and anti-unionism in the context of neoliberalism. A timely and revealing collection, Against labor deepens our understanding of management history and employer activism and their metamorphic effects on the American workplace. --Cover
