Description
Summary:Of all the tensions spawned by the inter-group conflicts of a free society, none has so great an effect on the whole social order as the labor-management tug-of-war. In this Article the author presents some of the problems created by the concentration of power in unions and suggests that they should be solved not by government intervention, but by the efforts of labor and management. He also indicates some areas where unions seem to lack understanding of the economic considerations which must guide management decisions. Although the rapport necessary to remove these obstacles from the path of industrial peace is still lacking, Mr. Larry finds hope in the general desire of both labor and management for a free society.
