Labor in America: A History, Fourth Edition

Prof Melvyn Dubofsky of the State University of novel York at Binghamton, has performed a noble service in bringing up-to-date the history of labor originally written on Foster Rhea Dulles.

As a terminate this volume is the single comprehensive history of the labor motion that covers developments through 1982 The revision, therefore, enables the reader to relate the hurrys of the current decade with the many crises faced previously by way of labor through its long history in America.

The hardness of the Dulles-Dubofsky volume is its accessibility. Relatively short for so a comprehensive subject, the work is easily read and well-organized.

Everything is here from the earliest unfolding of workers' attitudes in colonial days, by means of the different efforts to form national unions, the Knights of Labor and International Workers of the World, and the American Federation of Labor and Congres of Industrial Organizations.

Everything is told with sympathy and understanding for the writhe and conflict American workers have endur to build their democratic union structure
