The Workman's Bane And Antidote: Comprising The Essay On Strikes (1864)

by John Watts

Book Overview

The Workman's Bane and Antidote is a book written by John Watts in 1864. The book comprises an essay on strikes, which discusses the effects of labor strikes on the economy and society. The author argues that while strikes can be a powerful tool for workers to demand better wages and working conditions, they can also harm the very people they are intended to help. Watts suggests that strikes can lead to unemployment, reduced productivity, and higher prices for consumers. He proposes alternative solutions to labor disputes, such as negotiation and arbitration. The Workman's Bane and Antidote is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the history of labor relations and the role of strikes in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
