The Coal Industry and Its Industrial Relations: Some Union/Nonunion Comparisons
本书探讨煤炭行业中产品市场与劳动力市场的互动，分析工会从代表90%产量到40%产量仍主导劳资关系的原因，以及工会如何从消除工资竞争转向保护价格竞争，并讨论环境威胁与资源角色的平衡及行业未来。
This book addresses the following questions: how do product markets and labor markets interact in a labor intensive industry; how can a union whose members once mined 90 percent of the coal and now mines 40 percent, still dominate the industrial relations system of the industry, bargaining for member, nonmember, miners and management; how did a union which came into being to take wages out of competition eventually come to shield prices from competition as well and what is causing the erosion of that power; how can the environmental threats of an industry be compromised with its essential resource role; with all of its traditional markets dead or dying, how coal has survived through electric power generation; and what is the future of the industry.
