Open Shop Editorials (Classic Reprint)

Samuel Gompers
0/5 ( ratings)
Excerpt from Open Shop Editorials

And why should not the union man work with and beside the nonunion man? That, frankly, is none of the employer's business. Labor is under no obligation to justify its likes and dislikes to him. We were constantly told that supply and demand regulated the employment of labor, and that the market was free and should remain so. This being the case , the workman may say to the employer that he will not work for him except on certain terms, which terms may include an agreement on the employers' part, to engage no men obnoxious to them. T hese propositions can not be denied. No one has been hardy enough to contend that union men may be compelled to work with non-union men, or that the former may, by law or judicial pro cess, be prohibited from striking against the employment of the latter. In View of these facts, what life or meaning is there left in the open shop proposition?
