Workmen And Wages At Home And Abroad: Or The Effects Of Strikes, Combinations, And Trades' Unions (1868)

""Workmen and Wages at Home and Abroad: Or The Effects of Strikes, Combinations, and Trades' Unions"" is a book written by James Ward in 1868. The book explores the impact of strikes, combinations, and trades' unions on workmen and wages both in the United Kingdom and abroad. Ward discusses the history and development of these organizations, as well as their impact on labor conditions and wages. He argues that while these organizations have the potential to improve the lives of workers, they also have the potential to harm them by causing economic disruption and limiting job opportunities. Ward draws on a range of examples from different industries and countries to illustrate his points, including the cotton industry in Lancashire, the coal mines of Wales, and the silk industry in France. The book provides a valuable insight into the debates surrounding labor organization and the role of the state in regulating labor conditions in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
