Good chat'in with ya!

I'm assuming you're refering to the Progressive Era of the early 1900s, right?\n\ncity: urban reforms, sanitation, settlement houses (Jane Addams)\n\nstate: progressive governors (Robert LaFollette of Wisconsin, the "Wisconsin Idea"), primary elections, election reform (ballot initiatives, recalls, referendums)\n\nnational: the progressive Constitutional Amendments (16th, 17th, 18th, 19th), Theodore Roosevelt (trust-busting)\n\nLook up each of these terms/items/people for more info...

They stand for anything allowing the wealthy and exclusive in our country to remain so whilst the working class will fund the whole thing...the rest is damage control.\n\nThere are other things they stand for, but those things we don't want to write on these PAGES.

Basically, its about Great Britain. At least that's what this site says......\n\n"AN ACT for the better securing the dependency of his Majesty's dominions in America upon the crown and parliament of Great Britain......"\n\nHope this helps. Good luck with the project!

A system like communism, where all the means of production ar econtrolled by the government. The government owns any business that operates domestically and thus controls who gets hired, and at what rate of pay, what hours they work, etc.\n\nIn the former Soviet Union, this went as far as the government deciding your profession for you.

There are many. I just did a basic google search for: "Adam Smith" philosophy\nand The first site gave a lot of information about how he felt about workers, that they need to contribute their labor to benefit the state. Karl Marx's philosophies were very similar. Go ahead and do some basic searching of your own, and you'll have very little trouble with this assignment.

it's a russian word that means "council" - used originally to refer to local community councils of workers.  these were (supposedly) regarded as the fundamental government entity under a communist system.\n\ninteresting, isn't it, that the form of government that was in theory all about putting power into the hands of local people and everyday workers has almost-universally has meant huge, absolutist, centralized power?  makes you wonder how communism would've turned out if the guys in charge weren't powermongering jerks.

I don't think this is a very good thesis. The UK was the first country to go from non-industrial to industrial, but the conditions then were very different from what they are now. An LEDC faces completely different conditions than the problems that Britain had to face back then.\n\nBut some things that were the same would be: poor transportation (in the early 1800s, not in 1900), uneducated workforce (although Britain had a fairly high literacy rate by 1900), poor power infrastructure, poor health care system, lack of reliable and stable democratic government (in early 1800s, not 1900)\n\nA widely recognized expert on this topic is E. J Hobshawm who wrote a book "Industry and Empire" specifically about this. If you need to do a term paper, that would be a good source.

Im not sure what country you are from...but here in Australia you can go to your local parlimentry member, they have alot of pull here and can get the info you need. The other alternative is to go to the workers face to face and kick up a fuss....you earned it, you deserve it babe

As corporate interests have gained total control in this country they have not had to pay any attention to workers' demands.  The laws favor their unjust practices, so there is no recourse.  During the cold war era, anything that suggested "communsim" or "socialism" was condemned.   Currently, workers themselves often have no idea at all of how their meager remaining benefits were originally won--history is taught from the viewpoint of power after all, and in that view the unions are best forgotten.  Now, people are so alienated from the political process they don't even see the possibility of mass movements having any effect.  It is easier to bury oneself in consumerism than to try to mobilize your local community.

Unfortunately, I'm in a non-union state, so my knowledge regarding this subject is greatly lacking. However, I have been involved in a labor dispute because of this. While I was unable to find what I was looking for at most sites, I did get quite a lot of help (if nothing else they gave me several leads that I should fallow to find the answers I was looking for being non-union labor) , maybe some of that information is of use to you.\nI suggest starting with: The National Right to Work Legal Foundation, Inc.\nhttp://www.nrtw.org/rtws.htm\nI, like most, completely misunderstood what the term "right to work" actually meant. Since I've already answered a couple other questions at great length this evening, I'll not go into details regarding this one. I will tell you that even though they were completely unable to help me directly, they were unbelievably helpful in explaining first who they were able to help, and then in telling me who I needed to contact to find the help I was looking for. Even more amazingly, I was able to get that information from a real live person, by simply calling their 1-800 number and explaining my situation. I'm sure this isn't the intent of their services, but they probably saved me at least several hours of dead end Internet searches, and even more time wasted researching irrelevant laws and regulations.

Most people today have really no idea what the unions fought for and gained for working people both here in the US and in the UK where I am from origonally, we have a standard of living now that makes people think they really don't need to pay for protection from their employers, what they don't realise that in the last twenty years or so there seems to have been a shift in the balance where employers are now being able to get away more in terms of benefits and general treatment of workers, in the UK the unions were very strong right up until the early eighties, then Mrs Thatcher basically changed certain laws which virtually put a strangle hold on the unions makeing them less effective and changing peoples attitudes towards unions, people were then asking "why do we need unions, they can't do anything" so now you have a generation who don't know any better,  do not understand and as you say take for granted their current standard of living, admitidly in the seventies the unions, especially in the UK became so powerfull that the balance of power was firmly in their favor and resulted in many industries being damaged by this resulting in a total loss of confidence in British products at home and abroad.\nWe are now in a new industrial era both technologically and politically, western countries such as the US and UK have to be twice as efficient and inovative to be able to compete with the new developing countries like China and India, where people have nothing in terms of workers rights, and employers can just about do anything they like.\n\nBut I fully agree with your sentiments, explotation of workers back in those dark days of the early to mid part of the last century seem along way behind us, but could quite easily be back over a space of time that workers today would never even notice it happening, history informs us of the mistakes we make so we hopefully do not repeat the same things twice,  therefore the history of explotation on ordinary working people should be part of the education system.
