Book Overview

Principles of Labor Legislation is a book written by John Rogers Commons and first published in 1920. The book is a comprehensive study of labor laws and their impact on workers and employers. It covers a wide range of topics, including minimum wage laws, maximum hours laws, child labor laws, and workers' compensation laws. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of labor laws and their history in the United States. The second part focuses on specific labor laws and their effects on workers and employers. The third part discusses the principles that should guide the development of labor laws in the future.Throughout the book, Commons argues that labor laws are necessary to protect workers from exploitation and to ensure that they are able to earn a fair wage and work in safe conditions. He also acknowledges that labor laws can have unintended consequences and that they must be carefully crafted to avoid negative effects on employers and the economy as a whole.Principles of Labor Legislation is an important work in the field of labor law and has been influential in shaping labor policy in the United States and other countries.
