  • Against Labor: How U.S. Employers Organized to Defeat Union Activism ed. by Rosemary Feurer and Chad Pearson

    Bruce LaurieARTICLELabor Studies in Working-Class…2019

    This collection of original essays, written mainly by senior scholars well known in the field of labor history, aligns with revisionist work on the chronic resistance to unionism that was until recently a distinguishing feature of “American exceptionalism.” They skillfully demonstrate that the open-shop campaign during the early decades of the twentieth century persisted well beyond its origins into the advent of the New Right in the 1970s and be…

Working People of Philadelphia is a sa…

Several forces conspired to drive the buddi…
