He found a home in the tenements of New York and for the next fifty years he devoted his life to the struggles of fellow Jewish workers. The Jewish Unions in America blends memoir and history to chronicle this time. The book paints a vivid picture of workers' organizations at the beginning of the twentieth century and a capitalist system that bred exploitation, poverty, and inequality. It is not only a testament to the struggles of working people one hundred years ago, but also a reminder that workers must still battle to live decent lives in the free market. For the first time, Maurice Wolfthal's readable translation makes Weinstein's Yiddish text available to English readers. This is an essential book for students and scholars of labour history, Jewish history, and the history of American immigration. 517 $aJewish Unions in America 606 $aJews$xEmployment 610 $abernard weinstein 610 $aunited hebrew trades 610 $aimmigration 610 $aunionism 610 $alabor history 610 $aunited states 610 $asocialism 610 $ajewish history 610 $ajewish unions 610 $aInternational Ladies' Garment Workers' Union 610 $aJews 610 $aNew York (state) 610 $aYiddish 615 0$aJews$xEmployment. 676 $a320.540956940973 700 $aWeinstein$b Bernard$0127139 702 $aWolfthal$b Maurice 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910256651103321 996 $aThe Jewish unions in America$92827143 997 $aUNINA
