Description

Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - From the foregoing discussion, it should be clear that labor protest in the German chemical industry in 1914-1924 (mainly Bayer, Hoechst, Leuna, BASF) was intimately bound up with the particular set of conditions created by war, revolution, and inflation. These events and processes had a profound impact on the lives of the workers, both on and off the shop floor, and decisively influenced their ability and willingness to act collectively. Therefore, economic and political conditions in the chemical communities during the war and inflationary postwar years will be described in considerable detail. Simultaneously, the effects of these developments on the rise and fall of class solidarity, labor militancy, and political radicalism will be analyzed. ISBN 3775904050
