This scholarly volume from the University of North Carolina Press offers a comprehensive examination of the National War Labor Board (NWLB), a pivotal institution established during World War I to mediate labor disputes and maintain industrial peace. Author Valerie Jean Conner, a respected historian, delves into the NWLB’s role in upholding the principles of stability, social justice, and voluntary cooperation between labor and management.
Conner’s meticulous research sheds light on the NWLB’s innovative approach, which sought to balance the needs of workers, employers, and the nation’s wartime production demands. By promoting collective bargaining and fair labor practices, the NWLB aimed to prevent crippling strikes while addressing long-standing grievances over wages, hours, and working conditions.
This book is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts interested in the intersection of labor relations, government policy, and the home front during World War I. Conner’s nuanced analysis offers insights into the NWLB’s lasting impact on industrial relations and its influence on subsequent labor boards and dispute resolution mechanisms.
