The history of the American labor movement is filled with advances, triumphs, setbacks, decline, and resurgence. American unions have not only protected workers and influenced business practices, but have also played important roles in American politics. The AFLCIO, the Teamsters, and the United Farm Workers are just three examples of unions that have exerted wide influence far beyond the scope of industry. Labor leaders, including Samuel Gompers, John L. Lewis, Eugene Debs, Cesar Chavez, and Jimmy Hoffa, have become icons of U.S. history. Serving as the ideal place for students and interested readers to begin their research, this twovolume AZ resource covers the history of organized labor in all of its complexity, from the dawn of the industrial revolution to the postindustrial age.Nearly 400 entries cover unions, labor leaders, key legislation, major court cases, landmark events, critical terminology, antiunion organizations, and much more. Entries are packed with current information and are clearly written and engaging to specialists and nonspecialists alike. Also included are nearly 100 illustrations and 55 primary documents that range from autobiographies to song lyrics and contracts, enabling students to read the actual words of critical documents in American labor history. Entries are extensively crossreferenced and include bibliographies. A general bibliography will also direct readers to further avenues of research.
