 Monthly Review April 2004 Fred Magdoff and Harry Magdoff
Tenants and laborers were forced off the land, expanding the number of those who had no alternative but to sell their labor power and participate in the huge migration to cities during the initial growth of capitalism.
The timidity of labor in confronting management is indicated by a marked decrease in the number of workers involved in labor stoppages (formal and informal strikes by workers as well as lockouts by employers), as indicated in table 1.
The reserve labor armies of the United States and Europe have been in a privileged position relative to their counterparts in the third world, where the greater part of the global reserve army of labor is now located.

The term "labor army" re-emerged during the Great Patriotic War as an informal reference to the obligatory labor duty introduced in 1941.

 Disposable workers: today's reserve army of labor Monthly Review - Find Articles
In the wealthy countries of capitalism's center, labor is struggling to maintain existing wages and benefits against a combined assault by corporations and governments, while conditions of workers in the periphery are even more difficult.
Transnational corporations (and their owners and top managers) now have more freedom to produce where labor and other costs are cheap, have their patents protected, and move capital in and out of countries at will.
It is one of the basic characteristics of capitalism, referred to by Marx as the reserve army of labor.

 Civilian Inmate Labor Program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The labor would be provided by persons under the supervision of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Labor programs set forth by the Civilian Inmate Labor Program regulation involve the use of minimum and low security inmates from facilities under the control of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, with a few apparent exceptions for State-held and locally-held inmates, on installations controlled by the Army.
The regulation states that labor programs benefit the Army and the corrections facilities by supplying "a source of labor at no direct cost to the Army," giving "meaningful work to inmates" and alleviation to "overcrowding in nearby corrections facilities" and by making use of otherwise unused land and buildings.

 Army, Industry and Labour in Germany, 1914-1918 (0854967648) FELDMAN - Berg Publishers
At this point Germany became a military-run state; the office corps was negotiating the contracts and setting the terms not only for the economics of the war, but for the general German economy and social life.
If the army had been prepared for modern welfare the rise of labor would have never overcame the stranglehold the Prussian Junkers and industrialists had on the German government.
The ideology of the army, labor, and industry is barely mentioned and each of these groups is displayed with the motivation that Feldman ascribes to them.

 Monthly Review Recent Essays on Labor
Unemployment and the underutilization of labor more generally—the existence of what Marx called the industrial reserve army of labor—is a necessary part of a capitalist economy, since it keeps wages low as workers are forced to compete with each other for jobs.
All three of these contradictions are apparent in 2004, setting the stage for a national debate on the question of jobs, which more than three years since the beginning of the 2001 recession is now suddenly a front page story.
Denying employers the labor power needed for the production of surplus value strikes at the reproduction and expansion of capital, the accumulation process which is the core of the system.

 C. Thomas: The Campaign to Conscript Labor (February 1945)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The arguments advanced by the proponents of labor conscription have varied from time to time, have often been contradictory, and have tended to conceal rather than reveal the true aims of such legislation.
One group of contenders extols the advantages of “voluntary” labor as a means of “furthering the war effort,” the other insists that “compulsory” labor is necessary.
An examination of the status of labor since the outbreak of war will reveal that “voluntary” labor under wartime capitalism is a myth.
