Excerpt from The Labor Contract From Individual to Collective Bargaining, Vol. 2
In the evolution of the labor contract in the United States two historic facts confront us: the individual bargain of a cen tury ago and the collective agreement of the present day. Sep arated by less than a century's development, there is a transi tion from individual to associated action, and, although the individual contract necessarily persists, collective bargaining is coming more and more to have a part in our industrial life.
A close investigation into our economic history reveals the unequal chronological development of our industries. This fact is the key to an understanding of our industrial develop ment. It is impossible to gain an historic conception of our industrial relations until we recognize not only the interdepend ence but also the separate development of our great industries. To lose sight of the changes which take place in each separate industry in its development from small beginnings until it be comes a well adjusted mechanism employing all of the economies incident to that particular business were as fatal to an under standing of the various stages of collective bargaining as to lose sight of the general advance of our industry as a whole. The past century presents a kaleidoscopic view of industries in their weak beginnings along with those grown to world wide importance, and in practically every decade the complex pro cess of industrial growth is illustrated by industries which co exist in their various stages of development.
