04 Vernon M. Briggs, Jr., Industrial and Labor Relations
   Immigration and American Unionism (Cornell University Press, 2001). Briggs examines the
shared history of unions and
immigration. He explores the contentious relationship between U.S. immigration policies and the U.S. union movement: When immigration increases, unionism flounders and when immigration decreases, unionism thrives. Immigration has been viewed by worker organizations and their leaders as a menace. Briggs shows the intricacies of the relationship of immigration, labor, and unions. He discusses the survival of American unionism, the most reliable and persistent advocate for all American workers, and its incongruence with pro-immigration policy.> Back / > Next Article / > Back to Listing © 2003 by the Office of the Vice Provost for Research [OVPR], Cornell University. |
