博客來＂The Truck System: A Book For Masters And Workmen＂ delves into the historical practice of paying employees with goods or tokens redeemable only at company-owned stores, rather than with standard currency. This book, written for both employers and workers, examines the social and economic implications of the truck system, a practice that often led to exploitation and hardship for laborers.
David Bailey explores the nuances of this controversial wage system, shedding light on its origins, its prevalence in various industries, and its impact on communities. By providing a balanced perspective, ＂The Truck System＂ encourages readers to understand the complexities of labor relations and the ongoing struggle for fair compensation and employee rights. This historical analysis remains relevant for anyone interested in the evolution of labor practices and the challenges of ensuring equitable treatment in the workplace.
