An Arbitrary Workday?: Shall The American Workingman Be Fettered, The Triumphal Progress Of American Arts And Industries Arrested, The Manufacturing O (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781247386959)

Explore the contentious debate surrounding labor regulations in early 20th century America with "An Arbitrary Workday?" This work delves into the arguments against imposing legal restrictions on working hours, presenting a perspective that champions individual effort and the unhindered progress of American arts and industries. Albert Walmsley examines the potential consequences of such laws, suggesting they could diminish manufacturing output and fetter the American workingman. This book offers valuable insights into the historical tensions between capital and labor, and the ongoing struggle to define the role of government in regulating the workplace. Discover the arguments made against legislative interference in the employment relationship, a perspective that remains relevant in contemporary discussions about labor policy.
