Labor Relations in the Lithographic Industry

Describing the structure of industrial relations in the lithographic industry, the author explains its separation from the industrial relations system in printing, showing the instability of present collective bargaining practices and how the division of crafts is likely to change. Fred Munson integrates data from trade associations, union surveys, and government sources whose incompatibility has been a familiar complaint. Providing a typical economic model, this detailed study of lithographic industrial relations is relevant to the entire field of union-management relations today.
