- Title
EMPLOYEE ADJUSTMENT TO TECHNOLOGICAL DISPLACEMENT: THE FIFTH AVENUE COACH COMPANY CASE.
- Authors
McConnell, John W.; Lampert, Bernard P.
- Abstract
The article presents a study on the readjustment of workers in a situation where terms and conditions of displacement were arrived at by collective bargaining and arbitration. Justice Isadore Wasservogel issued an arbitration award in New York City which eliminated the use of conductors and established one-man driver operation on the Fifth Avenue bus lines. The arbitration was awarded ten years after Fifth Avenue Coach Co. introduced a double-deck omnibus operated by a single man in 1937. This resulted into a management-union discussion because of its impact on conductors and drivers.
