Book Description

Excerpt from Jurisdiction in American Building-Trades Unions From what has thus far been said it will be seen that a definite jurisdiction is of fundamental importance to a labor organization. In fact, unionists frequently refer to their property right or vested interest in the juris diction claimed by their union. Just as the extent and the boundaries of private property are not explicitly stated or carefully described in an unsettled country, where each can have almost as much land as he may desire, so in the early days Of each national union its jurisdiction is not well de fined; but as the union increases its membership and its branches, and as the field is more thoroughly covered, it becomes necessary that the boundaries of each be defined and stated.
