Abstract
This paper defines the critical aspects of the Los Angeles labor movements of the early twentieth century. It also discusses the problem of unionizing workers and the construct of racism. The paper then discusses how this helped to create an "open shop" labor environment. The paper finally shows why Los Angeles became a haven for the poor and disenfranchised that sought to make a living in this particular city.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, the basis for Open Shop in Los Angeles at the turn of the 20th century reveals the issue of race, class and unions that were present at this time. By understanding the heavy supply of workers and the openness of white business owners to allow them into these labor markets, wages were very low and union regulations virtually non-existent. This is the critical reason why Los Angeles became a haven for the poor and disenfranchised that sought to make living in this particular city."

Abstract
This paper discusses how following World War II, the British economy, its social structures, and its infrastructure, were all considerably damaged by the years of war over the European continent. Unions, as Dorfman points out, entered the post-World War II era as one of the nation's policy focal points in what would otherwise have been a political vacuum (par.1). It further discusses how in the decades following the war, Unions provided the citizenry, in the form of workers, with adequate representation within the structures of government and ensured that many policies and programs were enacted that would ensure not only work related rights and assurance but also social programs. The Unions within Britain for three decades held considerable sway over policy decisions as well as policy formulation.

From the Paper
"Congress, starting to feel pressure for groups like the AFL, created the U.S. Department of Labor. The department has a mandate to protect and extend the rights of wageworkers. A children?s bureau was created. In 1914, the first law to protect workers was enacted, the Clayton Act said that ?the labor of A Human Being is not a commodity or an article of commerce.? Because of this change in the legal status of work and labor, those things were no longer subject to the Sherman Act provisions that had been the legal basis for injunctions against union organizations. The Clayton Act allowed for strikes, boycotts, peaceful picketing and dramatically limited the use of injunctions in labor disputes."

The labor movement of today is faced with these challenges as well as the relocation and closing down of many industrial plants and factories all over Canada. Also, today Canada's labor movement needs to have a broader agenda as it faces with all the challenges of the global economy as well as the effects of the decline of state intervention within the context of this new global economy. It also needs to recognize the cultural, social and ethnic diversity that makes up the Canadian workforce today.

The New Labour, 2005.
An examination of how the Labour party has changed under the leadership of Tony Blair.
2,497 words (approx. 10.0 pages), 12 sources, MLA, $ 75.95

Abstract
This paper examines how New Labour has distinguished itself from traditional Keynesian Labour, assuming that it has to deal with a mixed economy in which the private sector has been given more and more importance. It looks at how consequently, polemics have emerged around the question of knowing if Labour is closer to the centre-left or to the "New Right". It also discusses how New Labour has met serious difficulties to be considered as a proper political social democrat ideology rather than a pragmatic approach to rising Britain's socio-economic difficulties.
Outline:
New Labour as a Fundamentally New Political Ideology or As a Pragmatic Political Programme
New Labour in the Logic of a Historical Change Process of the Labour Party
New Labour's Main Objectives
New Labour: A Real Shift in Governing Strategies?
New Labour's Welfare Reforms and its "Distinctiveness"
New Labour's Governing Strategies as Distinctive from Those Of Old Labour and Thatcherism?
New Labour Closer to the Centre-Left or to the "New Right"?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"New Labour is certainly not particularly distinctive from its governing predecessors in terms of depoliticisation. In 1998, Gordon Brown, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, established that the Bank of England would be independent in the determination of interest rates. Consequently the Blair government reject a level of political responsibility in the implementation of core economic policies: indeed, interest rates used to be a fundamental economic tool for British governments under Old Labour's Keynesianism to solve Britain's relative economic decline. It is also a policy in rupture with Thatcherism's monetarist policies which tried to fight the inflation by regulating the amount of money in circulation. "

Outline:
The Contemporary Role of Labor Unions
The Labor Union Power Game
Changes that Impacted the Labor Union Political Strategy
From the Paper
"The original form and function of the labor union was to provide protection, benefits and a political voice for workers in manufacturing and skilled trades. In the early 20th century, the AFL-CIO was formed, and influential movers such as Samuel Gompers aided in the facilitation of increased wages and benefits for textile and manufacturing workers. The power of labor unions progressed so quickly and drastically, that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt included a labor regulation policy in the New Deal in the early 1930's. As a result, the Department of Labor was established to monitor the authenticity of labor unions in addition to regulating the practices and extent of power of these advocacy groups."

Abstract
This paper examines how one of the most important laws concerning child labor was the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. It looks at how with its provisions imposing severe civil and criminal penalties and allowing for confiscation of good made with child labor, the Fair Labor Standards Act forced employers to stop using children in thousands of jobs. With remarkable success, the law simply outlawed child labor.
From the Paper
"Among the social reform advocates of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, no issue roused more determined calls for action than child labor. Florence Kelly of Hull House was among the first to report on the matter, but soon there were numerous rigorously researched reports, telling of children underpaid, overworked, uneducated, and profoundly unhappy with their lot. While many of the working children were in agriculture, the worst conditions were in manufacturing, whether in southern textile mills, northern canneries, urban tenements, or mountain coal mines. "
