On the other hand, it also has a radical function by advocating for workers' rights and challenging the existing power structures.Tannenbaum also explores the social consequences of the labor movement, including its impact on class consciousness and the development of a working-class identity. He argues that the labor movement has played a crucial role in shaping the modern working class and has helped to improve the lives of workers by advocating for better wages, working conditions, and benefits.Overall, The Labor Movement: Its Conservative Functions And Social Consequences is an insightful analysis of the labor movement and its impact on society. Tannenbaum's work remains relevant today, as the labor movement continues to play a vital role in advocating for workers' rights and challenging inequality in the workplace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
