Labor Disputes and the President of the United States (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025773506)

"Labor Disputes and the President of the United States" provides an in-depth analysis of the executive branch's involvement in American industrial conflicts. Written by Edward Berman, this study examines the historical development and practical application of presidential power when dealing with strikes and labor unrest that impacted the national economy. The work explores the various methods employed by different administrations, ranging from mediation and the appointment of investigative commissions to more direct forms of intervention such as the deployment of federal troops.

Focusing on the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the book offers a detailed look at significant case studies that shaped the precedents for federal labor policy. Berman evaluates the legal and constitutional justifications for executive action, alongside the political pressures that often influenced these decisions. By documenting the shift from a hands-off approach to a more active role in industrial relations, "Labor Disputes and the President of the United States" serves as a critical resource for understanding the evolving relationship between the U.S. government, organized labor, and corporate interests. This work is essential for those interested in the history of the presidency, labor law, and the sociopolitical dynamics of industrial America.
