More about the book

The motion-picture poster, canned food labels, office calendars, and illustrated postcards are familiar products of lithography, yet many readers may not understand how these items are produced or the labor issues within the industry. This study explores the history of collective bargaining in the lithographic sector, aiming to engage students with labor problems while contributing to a broader understanding of wage bargaining principles. Although the lithographic industry in the U.S. employs fewer workers than larger sectors like steel, it faces unique labor challenges. Nonetheless, every industry has its specific labor issues, and the fundamental principles of wage bargaining are common across all sectors. Understanding the methods employed by both employers and employees in various industries is essential to grasp these general principles that underpin labor contracts.
