Publisher's Synopsis
Principles of Labor Legislation, written by John Rogers Commons and originally published in 1920, is a seminal work in the field of labor law and policy. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the principles underlying labor legislation, with a focus on the United States. Commons argues that labor legislation is necessary to protect workers from exploitation and ensure a fair and just society. He examines various types of labor legislation, including minimum wage laws, child labor laws, and workers' compensation laws, and discusses the economic and social implications of each. The book also explores the history of labor legislation in the United States, from the early days of the Industrial Revolution to the present day, and looks at the role of labor unions in shaping labor policy. Principles of Labor Legislation is an important work for anyone interested in labor law and policy, and its insights remain relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
