The labor problem
"The Labor Problem" is an economics term widely used toward the turn of the twentieth century with various applications.〔"the labor problem." Roberts, Harold Selig. 1994. Roberts' Dictionary of Industrial Relations. p. 406〕 It has been defined in many ways, such as "the problem of improving the conditions of employment of the wage-earning classes."〔Adams, Thomas Sewall. 1908. Labor Problems: A Text Book. p. 3〕 It encompasses the difficulties faced by wage-earners and employers whom began to cut wages for various reasons including increased technology, desire for lower costs or to stay in business. The wage-earning classes responded with strikes, by unionizing and by committing acts of outright violence. It was a nationwide problem that spanned nearly all industries and helped contribute to modern business conditions still seen today. Possible causes include the failure to account for the negative externality of reproduction in the face of finite natural resources which results in over-supply of labor and falling living standards for wage-laborers, depersonalization by machines and poor working conditions.
==Time Frame==
A popular debate about the Labor Problem is the time that it encompasses. Some characterize it back as far as the 1860s, which is when many unions and groups began to form. However there wasn’t a problem present at this time with the formation of these unions. Also, the first strike was a result of the problem between wage earners and union officials, not employers and unions or employers and wage-earners, which was the main conflict of this time.〔“The Labor Movement: A Violent Period in American History.” ILWU Local 19, n.d. Web. 5 November 2013.〕 Since the problem was within unions and not between unions and employers, the Labor Problem had not yet become an issue. Many also attribute the end of the problem to the end of the 1920s. This has some merit but is also open to interpretation. Reforms began to pass to correct many of the problems but reforms continued to pass well into the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. The Civil Rights Movement took over in America, which brought about even further legislation. Many attribute the end of the labor problem to the late 20’s because it marks a significant drop in strikes and violence and an increase in passed legislation aimed at correcting the labor issues.
