Die Gewerkschaftsbewegung Darstellung der gewerkschaftlichen Organisation der Arbeiter und der Arbeitgeber aller Länder.

This book offers a broad survey of the labor union movement at the turn of the twentieth century, gathering material that had been spread across narrow studies. The author aims to fill a gap in economic literature by compiling facts on how workers and employers organized in England, France, the United States, Germany and Switzerland. Instead of focusing on a single faction, it examines a range of groups—from socialist unions and the Hirsch‑Duncker guilds to emerging Christian associations and other cooperative bodies.

The study also brings attention to lesser‑known organizations such as Christian trade societies, showing how they complemented the better‑known socialist ranks. Readers gain a clear sense of the varied strategies and legal frameworks that shaped collective bargaining in each country. Its concise yet comprehensive approach makes it a handy reference for students of labor history and anyone curious about early organized work.
