Capital Labour Conflict

1298 Words6 Pages

Recently social conflicts reached more popularity than ever before. One of the biggest industrial problems of the past centuries has been the growing number of conflicts between the employers and the employees. Capital-labor conflict is a kind of social conflict, which happens in the workplace between individuals and affects most of the aspects of life: social, economical and political. In economical sphere it affects the production. Sometimes it can destroy good capital-labor relations, and sometimes can cause shaping new capital-labor relations. Also the resolution depends on the scale of conflict: interpersonal (conflict between workers and employers), regional (worker – public servant), etc. The reasons for emergence of capital-labor conflict …show more content…

Because of it conflict remains unsolved and during time rises to more global one. The same happens with the labor conflict. Initially it occurs between individuals within the walls of the company, after (if they do not find the correct solution) it can even increase from manager-worker dispute into political issue. This kind of labor disputes were regulated by labor legislation. The labor dispute commission was the exploring and decision making body, but if the decision was not acceptable for worker, he could appeal to the court. But the practice shows that even the regulating laws and bodies have not been completely satisfying, and hopes for industrial peace remained hopes. In most cases workers’ requirements remained not satisfied as the employers did not feel responsible for the interests of employees. (Kabalina, Nazimova, …show more content…

William Leiserson .. By his words “A so called labor party that attempts to set up a political platform divides the laboring classes rather than unites them.” So the Labor Party does not serve its aims. In addition to this, US is “a two party country” where is no place for the third one, it will not survive in this system, eventually the two major parties will not “let” the third one to win the elections. They are already big players in this “game” and know all the election principles. Also, it is not necessary to create a labor party for linking labor with politics. They are already linked with close ties and are hardly splittable. Improving labor conditions can be done by appropriate political actions, but this does not mean that for that labor needs political party. Another reason is that political parties’ policy should be flexible. This means that they should change their policy during years to comply with the requirements of public for providing their survival in actual period of time. Labor party cannot do this because their aims are concrete and focused, so always will remain the same and one day party will not be able to survive and develop in permanently changing

    Labor and the US Government from 1890-1945 A key aspect of this nation’s history lies in the ever-shifting relationship between its government and its common man, most specifically its labor workers. This relationship plays a crucial role in the understanding of the changes that took place in America between 1890 and 1945. The changing relationship between government and labor workers in the United States between 1890 and 1945 demonstrates a period of unrest and a transitional period in which the focus shifted towards the working class as a result of the greed and corruption of 19th century business elite , as can be seen in the labor strikes requiring government intervention of the late 19th century, the progressives of the early 20th century

    The feeling, shown in Nast's illustration after the railroad strike of 1877, that amalgamations simply lead to more " communistic values" and general uniformity made it very arduous to genuinely get anything done. Samuel Gompers, progenitor of the American Federation of Labor, argued that the right to strike was absolutely obligatory if any reforms were going to be made and not even this right had been officially granted to the people by regime (Document I). Gompers made it very pellucid that not even the very substratum of organized labor had been established and so up until this point the advances that had been made, were virtually frivolous. In conclusion, from 1875-1900 very few advances were made through organized labor in achieving better working conditions for workers.

    In the following, I will use the conflict theory, which operates on the macro-level, as well as the symbolic interactionist theory, which focuses on the micro-scale of society, to explain the influence of globalization and the associated phenomena of inequality and conflict on the individual and society. The conflict theory approaches society on the macro-level. It was established by Karl Marx, who believed that social conflict stands at the center of sociocultural realities. His evolutionary theory came to be known as one of the most significant early contributions to sociology. Marx emphasizes the idea that “society is based on the struggle for scarce resources” (Module 1, 2015) and asserts that inequality and unequal conditions set forth forces that may end in conflict, which in turn contributes to change.

    Conflict theory states that tensions and conflicts arise when resources, status, and power are unevenly distributed between groups in society and that these conflicts become the engine for social change. In this context, Marx’s conflict approach was developed in 19th century by Karl Marx (1818-83) .Marx argued wealth and power were unequally distributed in society and sought to explain how one minority group (1% ruling-class) in society maintained its dominance over the majority (working-class). Weber formulated a response to Marx’s theory. Weber saw that conflict didn’t overwhelmingly involve the economy, but that the state and economy together set up conditions for conflict.
