Against Labor : How U.S. Employers Organized to Defeat Union Activism

Against Labor highlights the tenacious efforts by employers to organize themselves as a class to contest labor.Ranging across a spectrum of understudied issues, essayists explore employer anti-labor strategies and offer incisive portraits of people and organizations that aggressively opposed unions.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.Timely and revealing, Against Labor deepens our understanding of management history and employer activism and their metamorphic effects on workplace and society.Contributors: Michael Dennis, Elizabeth Esch, Rosemary Feurer, Dolores E.Janiewski, Thomas A.
