Reference

Historical Encyclopedia of American Labor by Robert E. Weir & James P. Hanlan
ISBN: 0313318409
Publication Date: 2004
The history of the American labor movement is filled with advances, triumphs, setbacks, decline, and resurgence. This two-volume A-Z resource covers the history of organized labor in all of its complexity, from the dawn of the industrial revolution to the "post-industrial age."
The Encyclopedia of Strikes in American History by Aaron Brenner, Benjamin Day & Immanuel Ness
ISBN: 9780765613301
Publication Date: 2009
This comprehensive encyclopedia is the first detailed collection of historical research on strikes in America. To provide the analytical tools for understanding strikes, the volume includes two types of essays--those focused on an industry or economic sector, and those focused on a theme. Each industry essay introduces a group of workers and their employers and places them in their economic, political, and community contexts. The essay then describes the industry's various strikes, including the main issues involved and outcomes achieved, and assesses the impact of the strikes on the industry over time.
