Peter J. Rachleff's "Hard-Pressed In The Heartland : The Hormel Strike And The Future Of The Labor Movement": Analysis
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Peter J. Rachleff's Hard-Pressed in the Heartland : The Hormel Strike and the Future of the Labor Movement addresses concerns that have been brewing since much of organized labor became a shrinking island in the sea of the U.S. workforce. The 1980s saw a significant change in the manner by which American businesses sought to fill labor positions, with many of them closing down their U.S.-based factories and relocating to Third World countries where the cost of labor is far below the demands of American labor workers. This sudden outflow of jobs caught the labor union off guard and in dire straits; as such, union support began to wane with the serious decline of its power. The internal struggles that existed at Hormel became too much for either side to resolve, ultimately leading to a strike that many believe change the impact of union solidarity forever.

Robert B. Reich / Secretary of Labor
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing Reich's contributions to the relationship between organized labor and corporate interest. Robert Reich has his critics on all sides—liberals complain that he is far too conservative; conservatives complain that his views are too liberal—but he is one of the few realistic observers of the state of commerce and of labor in the 1990s. Some, even many, do see him as a classic fence-sitter, unable to decide whether he is liberal or conservative, but Reich himself obviously has no such doubts regarding his own conclusions in the necessity of both sides working together for mutual benefit. He has been able to overcome the 'us vs them' mentality of the traditional adversarial relationship between labor and business, as have many who are daily involved in the realities of business today Bibliography lists 8 sources.
