DOWNLOAD EBOOKExamining Trenton's potters and pottery industry from 1850 to the Great Depression, Marc Stern chronicles industrialization in this competitive, skill-intensive trade. Nineteenth-century potting remained locked in conflicts between and among manufacturers and workers in which price wars and antiunionism invariably undid both the employers' trade associations and employee trade unions. The shift to specialization in sanitary pottery (bathtubs, sinks, and commodes) after 1900, however, saw employers and workers create a cooperative system, which virtually eliminated price wars, strikes, and lockouts. After World War I, competition, federal antitrust legislation, and increased consumer demand led Trenton's manufacturers to call for major concessions from their employees. In a disastrous move, the unionized sanitary pottery workers struck their shops in 1922 only to watch their employers introduce new technologies and less skilled workers. Meanwhile, federal litigation destroyed the trade associations market controls. Large national plumbing supply corporations quickly came to dominate the trade and displace the smaller, independent firms. Stressing the importance of the interaction of market conditions, state intervention, technology, and labor-capital relations. Stern corrects an often fragmented and distorted view of the transformation of this industry and offers a model for understanding the transformation of others.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFirst published in 1990. Patterns of Labour explores the interaction between home, paid work, and the individual. It looks at how the social relations of work both shape and are shaped by the context in which they occur. In a detailed examination of the pottery industries of Britain and America over two centuries, Richard Whipp looks at the far-reaching effects of key issues, such as industrialisation and economic transformation. However, he also examines changing notions of gender, the family, community and unionisation. The book centres on the difficulties of organising, controlling and describing work - not least because of the human act of its making.
