The resulting low rates of collective bargaining impose economic, political, and social costs on us all. In \u003ci\u003eFulfilling the Pledge,\u003c\/i\u003e Roger Hartley addresses the plight of American workers, who face a grim, uncertain future, as the digital workplace reshapes the hierarchical post-World War II industrial relations system that once gave workers a voice. Through empirical evidence and the lens of law and policy, Hartley examines what industrial sociologists call the chronic \"representation gap\" and clarifies how a wide-ranging movement could build a vocal constituency for the congressional enactment of labor law reform.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The pledge made in the 1935 National Labor Relations Act to encourage establishment of industrial democracy-where workers possess a voice in their places of work-remains unfulfilled. Speaking to policymakers, scholars, historians, and the average citizen, \u003ci\u003eFulfilling the Pledge\u003c\/i\u003e makes a compelling case for collective workplace representation that serves the greater good, even as American labor relations law continues to undermine collective bargaining by workers and becomes an increasingly significant political and social issue.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49753586893073,"sku":"NGR9780262547130","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262547139.jpg?v=1751429305"},{"product_id":"assault-on-american-labor-law-book-roger-c-hartley-9781625349163","title":"The Assault on American Labor Law","description":"Reviewing the dismantling of American labor law in more than Supreme Court cases     The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), signed into law by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1935, guarantees the right of private sector employees to organize into trade unions, engage in collective bargaining, and take collective action such as strikes.

At the heart of the debate is the question of what these monuments represent. The arguments and counterarguments are formulated around sets of assumptions grounded in Southern history, politics, culture, and race relations. Comprehending and evaluating accurately the associated claims and counterclaims calls for a careful examination of facts and legal considerations relevant to each side's assertations. In Monumental Harm, Roger C. Hartley offers a road map to addressing and resolving this acrimonious debate.Although history and popular memory play a vital role in the discussion, there have been distortions of both parts. Monumental Harm reviews the fact-based history of the initial raising of these monuments and distinguishes it from the popular memory held by many Confederate-monument supporters. Hartley also addresses concerns regarding the potential erasure of history and the harm these monuments have caused the African American community over the years, as well as the role they continue to play in politics and power.  The recent rise in White nationalism and the video-recorded murders of Black citizens at the hands of White police officers have led to nationwide demonstrations and increased scrutiny of Confederate monuments on public land. As injustice is laid bare and tempers flare, the need for a peaceful resolution becomes ever-more necessary. Monumental Harm offers a way to break the rhetorical deadlock, urging that we evaluate the issue through the lens of the U.S. Constitution while employing the overarching democratic principle that no right is absolute. Through constructive discourse and good-faith compromise, a more perfect union is within reach.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53304478433553,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53304479744273,"sku":"CIN1643361694G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781643361697.jpg?v=1774113560"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-roger-c-hartley.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
