Employer-Employee Relationship

The problem is that employer-employee relationship itself.  Both capitalism and socialism (as public enterprise capitalism) have assumed that basic relationship and have debated whether workers should all be employed by the government for  "The Public Good" or whether they could also be privately employed  "for private greed".

Serfdom

  Serfdom, labor system under which most European agricultural workers lived during the Middle Ages. These agricultural laborers were known as serfs and were legally bound to reside and labor on the land owned by their lord. The word serf comes from the Latin word servus, which means servant or slave.

The Sharecropping System

  The American Civil War (1861-1865) brought the end of slavery in the United   States of America.  For the plantation owners of the South this meant that the years after the war they were faced with a predicament.  Even   if a family owned an impressive parcel of land, they couldnt farm it by themselves; they need labor.  The Southern economy was in such shambles that in many cases they couldn't even afford to buy seed and farm implements,   much less to pay hired hands.  At the same time, most of the blacks who'd been shackled to the land before the Civil War were still there, living in the old slave quarters or in shacks they'd built themselves, trying to raise enough food to keep from starving, getting by from one day to the next.

Sharecropping
By
Amanda McCullough

  Sharecropping appeared in the Southeastern United States, including Appalachia, after the Civil War as a way to continue post-slavery white supremacy over African Americans, but it ultimately included poor whites as well.  It was a way to avoid the now illegal possession of slaves while at the same time keeping workers for labor in a subordinate manner.  Although former slaves and their descendants composed the majority of sharecroppers, the poor whites joined the blacks in their struggles against the landowners by the end of the sharecropping era.

   Servants and Masters in the Plymouth Colony

  The success of Plymouth Colony depended on hard work and cheap labor. For the Colonists in Plymouth, cheap labor came in the form of indentured   servants.  Twenty of the 104 Pilgrims to arrive on the Mayflower were servants (Stratton 1986: 179.  Within the first year of the settlement twelve of these servants had died.  In addition to the servants who died, almost half of the non-indentured population perished during the first year in Massachusetts.  By the spring of 1621, the surviving Colonists were faced with the daunting task of designing and building a stable long-lasting Colony.

  Indentures servants were an important part of the labor force in seventeenth-century Virginia.  While their role as the primary source of bound labor would   become increasingly less significant as the numbers of African slaves grew,   there were a number of laws enacted throughout the seventeenth century that   restricted both masters and servants.  One of the first recorded cases of a servant/master dispute was recorded in the first meeting of the elected   assembly at Jamestown.

Sharecropping
By
Trudier Harris


  A practice that emerged following the emancipation of African-American slaves, sharecropping came to define the method of land lease that would eventually become a new form of slavery. Without land of their own, many blacks were drawn into schemes where they worked a portion of the land owned by whites for a share of the profit from the crops.
