Shop Collective Bargaining PDF Download

Excerpt from Shop Collective Bargaining: A Study of Wage Determination in the Men's Garment Industry The term shop is here taken to mean the plant Of a Sin gle firm, even when a firm owns or operates more than one plant-unit in a locality. The compound shop collective bar gaining is used to designate the negotiations conducted on the one hand by the national or local Officials Of the union and on the other by the national or local representatives Of an employer or an association Of employers. Accepting the Shop as a basis Of rate-making is fraught with many dangers to union control, especially when an industry lends itself to the piece method Of payment: union discipline and the standard rate alike are thereby jeopar dized, if not completely set at naught. In the present case, however, it will be seen that this form Of collective bar gaining was not arbitrarily elaborated either by employers or wage-earners, but was evolved by the historical develop ment Of the industry itself, modified by the traditions and manufacturing exigencies Of each important center. More over, as it will appear, the unusual powers conferred on the permanent boards Of arbitration in the local manufacturing districts serve to forestall individual bargaining and to maintain minimum earnings.
