Abstract

Too much attention and research cannot be given to so vital a question as Unionism and Strikes. The newspapers are filled daily with new outbreaks in labor and controversies between employer and employee. Employees are continually striving to better their living conditions by asking for a living wage, while employers are striving to cut down expenses by trying to pay only a minimum wage. This wage is arrived at through bargaining between the employer and employees without any consideration for the vital factors that enter in when calculating an honest and living wage.
