Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers back to the early 20th century, a time of great industrial change and labor unrest, and explores the fascinating story of Thomas E. Mitten, a street railway manager who transformed the chaotic Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company into a model of efficiency and worker satisfaction. The author delves into the details of Mittenââ â¢s ââ Å"Men and Management Planââ Â, a revolutionary approach that prioritized employee welfare and collaboration, challenging the traditional power dynamics of the time. This plan, which involved giving employees a stake in the companyââ â¢s success, was met with resistance from the financial interests that had long controlled the P.R.T. However, through a powerful combination of business acumen and a genuine belief in the potential of his workers, Mitten ultimately triumphed, ushering in a new era of industrial relations in Philadelphia. This book offers valuable insights into the complex interplay of labor, management, and capital during a pivotal period in American history.
