Document Summary
Guilds/merchants- early 18th and 19th century: similar to professional licensing body (canadian bar association, strict guidelines to becoming a part of the professional body. Low skilled factory workers/ industrial revolution (19th century) 1930s- the depression and the protection of the workers: still exclude minorities, fear and concern over government sanctioned facilities with certain rights and protections afforded to them. Illegal tactics: 1980s stagflation, 1970s squeeze on economic conditions. Unions in the united states are trying to represent the rights of workers- not a two-way process: unions should access concessions. Unions started fighting for the sake of fighting. Intrinsic process- shift from unions and workers working together: economic process works well then there are no tensions- labour costs are not as significant. In the global context, declining labour and local labour has transitioned into the knowledge economy and society (people are no longer working in factories) Internationalization of labour- moved outside of america: global race for the bottom.
