Was it simply that they lacked class consciousness and were more interested in personal mobility? In a richly detailed survey of labor law and labor history, William Forbath challenges this notion of American "individualism." In fact, he argues, the nineteenth-century American labor movement was much like Europe's labor movements in its social and political outlook, but in the decades around the turn of the century, the prevailing attitude of American trade unionists changed. Forbath shows that, over time, struggles with the courts and the legal order were crucial to reshaping labor's outlook, driving the labor movement to temper its radical goals. 606 $aLabor unions$xPolitical activity$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aWorking class$xPolitical activity$zUnited States 606 $aLabor disputes$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aLabor laws and legislation$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aLabor unions$xPolitical activity$xHistory. 615 0$aWorking class$xPolitical activity 615 0$aLabor disputes$xHistory. 615 0$aLabor laws and legislation$xHistory. 676 $a322/.2/0973 700 $aForbath$b William E.$f1952-$01811480 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971422303321 996 $aLaw and the shaping of the American labor movement$94363362 997 $aUNINA
