Book Description
Workers' compensation was arguably the first widespread social insurance program in the United States--before social security, Medicare, or unemployment insurance--and the most successful form of labor legislation to emerge from the early progressive movement. In A Prelude to the Welfare State, Price V. Fishback and Shawn Everett Kantor challenge widespread historical perceptions by arguing that workers' compensation, rather than being an early progressive victory, succeeded because all relevant parties--labor and management, insurance companies, lawyers, and legislators--benefited from the ruling.
Law and the Shaping of the American Labor Movement

Book Description
Why did American workers, unlike their European counterparts, fail to forge a class-based movement to pursue broad social reform? Was it simply that they lacked class consciousness and were more interested in personal mobility? In a richly detailed survey of labor law and labor history, William Forbath challenges this notion of American “individualism.” In fact, he argues, the nineteenth-century American labor movement was much like Europe’s labor movements in its social and political outlook, but in the decades around the turn of the century, the prevailing attitude of American trade unionists changed. Forbath shows that, over time, struggles with the courts and the legal order were crucial to reshaping labor’s outlook, driving the labor movement to temper its radical goals.

Book Description
Excerpt from Employers Liability for Personal Injuries to Their Employees The legislature at its last session directed an investigation of the subject of the liability of employers to workmen for injuries received while in the discharge of their duty, and a consideration of what changes, if any, are needed in the existing laws relative to such liability. A careful investiga tion of the law and facts which bear upon the subject has been made, and it has been fully considered in its various phases, with especial care, for the first time, so far as known in this country. It is a subject which, in all its varied relationships, is by no means easy of comprehension. It is fruitful of embarrassments. And hedged about with difficul ties, but at the same time of no inconsiderable consequence to the welfare of the community. During the nine years ending with 1881 there were, according to the Railroad Gazette, persons killed, and injured, in the United States, on the railroads alone; and of these, were killed and injured on the railroads of this Com mon wealth. A large majority of both the killed and injured were employees. Of those killed in this Commonwealth, 358 were of this class, while of those injured there were (553. During the year 1881 alone, 72 employees were killed and 128 injured in this Commonwealth. \vhen one single branch of employment causes such an annual sacrifice as this, it seems to be time to consider whether something cannot be done to prevent it.
