Publisher's Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Created for the purpose of collective rights against employers, trade unions serve a healthy role in the checks and balances to achieve common goals for workers. This book explores the need for trade unions, their power, the fight for continued collective bargaining rights, union busting, opposition to trade unions in general, and much more including the two major trade union organizations and the scope of their membership. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge.
