Rather, it was the result of a longstanding political and ideological hostility to the very idea of trade unionism put forward by a conservative movement whose roots go as far back as the Haymarket Riot of 1886. The controversy in Madison and other state capitals reveals that labor's status and power has always been at the core of American conservatism, today as well as a century ago.The Right and Labor in America explores the multifaceted history and range of conservative hostility toward unionism, opening the door to a fascinating set of individuals, movements, and institutions that help explain why, in much of the popular imagination, union leaders are always "bosses" and trade union organizers are nothing short of "thugs." The contributors to this volume explore conservative thought about unions, in particular the ideological impulses, rhetorical strategies, and political efforts that conservatives have deployed to challenge unions as a force in U.S. economic and political life over the century. Among the many contemporary books on American parties, personalities, and elections that try to explain why political disputes are so divisive, this collection of original and innovative essays is essential reading. 410 0$aPolitics and culture in modern America. 606 $aLabor unions$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLabor unions$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aLabor disputes$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLabor unions$xHistory 615 0$aLabor unions$xHistory 615 0$aLabor disputes$xHistory 676 $a331.880973 702 $aLichtenstein$b Nelson 702 $aShermer$b Elizabeth Tandy 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466257503321 996 $aThe right and labor in America$92453331 997 $aUNINA
