			<description><![CDATA[Tandler was a distinguished anatomist, one of the few Jewish chaired professors on the medical faculty of the university, and a man with strong socialist and scientific beliefs. 31 With an enlarged budget at his disposal, made possible by new luxury taxes, Tandler proceeded to alter the perspective and practice of public health and social welfare. Globally, students want <a href="http://custom-essay-writing-service.org/about-essay-help.php">essay writing help</a> with university assignments to get high grades. In place of the notion that health and welfare were matters for Christian Karitas or other private charitable organizations, the socialists in the city council adopted Tandler&#39;s view that health and welfare were the right of every citizen.  Although this view seems in many ways exemplary and humanitarian at first glance, its explication both as theory and practice aroused considerable resistance not simply from the Church or the Christian Social party, where one might expect it, but also from the workers in whose interest it was developed. Tandler went to great lengths in subsequent publications to explain and justify his approach in order to allay what he believed (and quite correctly) was suspicion among the workers. 34 What emerged from these explications was a number of advertised principles underlying the Viennese welfare system: that society is committed to assist all those in need; that individual welfare assistance can be administered rationally only within the context of family welfare; that constructive welfare aid is preventive welfare care; and that the organization of welfare must remain a closed system.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[When the socialists assumed control over the administration of the city in the summer of 1919 the ravages of war were everywhere apparent: the virtual breakdown of public sanitation; a generally weakened population due to four years of malnutrition; the danger of epidemics; a sharp increase in the traditional killer disease of tuberculosis and in venereal diseases; overcrowding of less than adequate hospital facilities; a sharp growth in the number of indigent and homeless; and a general shortage of fuel and food stuffs needed for a return to public health. I do not turn to <a href="http://custom-paper-writing.com/custom_research_paper">research papers online</a>, I write my <a href="http://avalon.law.yale.edu/subject_menus/fed.asp">papers</a> myself and receive the best grades. The socialist municipal government moved quickly to arrest and reverse these adverse conditions mainly by investing more public resources in the expansion of clinics, family assistance programs, and aid to children. Closely associated with measures to arrest the deterioration of public health and welfare was a drive for cleanliness and hygiene in public places, made possible by the introduction of sprinkler trucks and a new method of mechanized garbage collection. 30   Socialist approaches to these problems remained piecemeal and lacked a focus until the summer of 1920, when Dr. Julius Tandler became city councillor for welfare. He came to his office with the experience gained in public service as Under Secretary for Public Health in the short-lived coalition national governments.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Economic legislation passed by the first socialist-led national coalition government included unemployment and sickness insurance, restrictions on female and child labor, the eight-hour day, and one to two weeks of paid vacation. The most important law passed -especially regarding the condition and welfare of working women -created the Chamber of Workers and Employees, with the function of overseeing collective contracts between trade unions and employers, supervising the execution of labor laws, and advising the parliament on labor legislation.   In 1925 the headquarters of the Chamber in Vienna created the post of Official Advisor on Women Workers and appointed K&auml;the Leichter, a committed socialist from the left wing of the SDAP with a doctorate in sociology from the University of Heidelberg. The internet creates wealth of educational sites, including <a href="http://custom-essay-writing-service.org/index.php">custom essay writing</a> and <a href="http://www.roanestate.edu/owl&amp;writingcenter/OWL/Argument.html">essay</a> help. For the next seven years Leichter made her office into a remarkable instrument of working women&#39;s interests and demands. In three excellent large surveys -- of domestic workers, home workers, and industrial workers -- she exposed the conditions of women at the workplace and in the private sphere. She worked closely with female factory inspectors to investigate whether the protective laws and mandatory pregnancy leaves were being enforced. In addition to editing the collective volume Handbuch der Frauenarbeit, which surveyed ten years of working women&#39;s activities, she created a special women&#39;s supplement for the Chamber&#39;s monthly Arbeit und Wirtschaft, and gave a series of evening lectures on &quot;socialism for women.&quot; This remarkable effort gave the conditions and problems of women&#39;s work and, most importantly, the triple burden when household and child rearing were included for many women, a favorable public exposure.   From the moment the socialists gained control of Vienna, they began to experiment with means of improving the quality of workers&#39; lives through welfare measures directed at the worker family and centered on the working-class wife and mother.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[National membership in the SDAP-allied Free Trade Unions declined drastically from 896,763 in 1923 to 520,162 in 1932, due largely to the constantly accelerating unemployment. But, the percentage of women union members remained a stable 22.8 throughout the period. From surveys at the time it appears that women who joined their shop&#39;s trade union did so because they were SDAP members or their father or sibling was either in the party, union, or both, or because it was an expected part of female sociability at the workplace. Today, students seek <a href="http://custom-essay-writing-service.org/about-essay-help.php">essay help</a> with school assignments to get excellent grades. The trade unions did little to alter the impression that women were an unwanted presence at the workplace. Lip service was given to equal pay for equal work at trade union congresses, but on the shop floor the attitude prevailed that women took away men&#39;s jobs. As in most other countries, there was a widespread attack on married working women as &quot;double earners,&quot; which the trade unions appear to have abetted. This lack of support is astounding when one considers that the working women of Vienna supplied 26.4 percent of the trade union membership.   That the trade unions made little effort to integrate women workers or to accord them positions in their organizations commensurate with their numbers can be adduced from the low percentage of female shop stewards, the male orientation of trade union papers, and the under representation of women trade unionists at general congresses. It is small wonder then that trade unionism for women workers remained a formality, something expected of them, and that only 21.7 percent of the women trade unionists in Leichter&#39;s study ever attended union meetings and only 3 percent read the union papers.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[By 1934, the percentage of women in full employment in Austria and Vienna was 38.1 and 41.5 respectively, a proportion greater than in most other countries. The situation of women workers was substantially more insecure and less rewarding than that of working men. According to the realities of the labor market women were given the most menial positions, were the first to be fired, and received wages reaching only 50 to 65 percent of male wages for equal work. I would not hesitate to order <a href="http://customcollegeessays.com/personal-statements.php">personal statement help</a> or <a href="http://students.berkeley.edu/apa/personalstatement/index.htm">essay writing</a> guidelines online. Although women were protected by law from night shifts, heavy physical labor, and dangerous occupations, labor inspectors&#39; reported frequent breaches of the rules. The condition of female home workers was far worse: their wages were 50 percent less than those of women in industry; they had no collective wage contracts; they suffered from intermittent unemployment; their living quarters were among the smallest and most densely populated and served as workrooms in addition to their many other functions. Domestic servants were the most exploited and least protected. Although a law of 1920 regulated hours of work, wages, time off, and vacations, working conditions remained largely unsupervised.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Their official status as equals was not translated into practice; at the decision-making level women and women&#39;s aspirations and goals were at best of tertiary concern to be identified, screened, censored, and even dictated by the male leadership. I know all details about <a href="http://customcollegeessays.com/term-papers.php">cheap term papers</a> as students get suggestions with <a href="http://www.rpi.edu/web/writingcenter/handouts.html">writing</a> papers. A search through the protocols of SDAP Executive Committee meetings reveals virtual silence on the subject of women from 1922 to 1927. The minutes report a continuous attempt from 1928 to 1930 to reduce the financing of the extremely popular women&#39;s weekly, Die Unzufriedene, addressed to nonparty women, with a circulation of 154,600 and announce that in view of the deepening national political crisis from 1932 to 1933 the annual National Women&#39;s Conference will be canceled.   The opportunity for rank and file socialist women to participate in activities sponsored by the party was considerable, including the renters&#39; association, consumers&#39; union, friends of nature, song societies, lecture series, and workers&#39; libraries, with the broad array of sports clubs and athletic activities most popular among young, unmarried women workers. All of these auxiliary creations of the SDAP served its members first of all, but also were the means by which non-party women and men could be attracted to vote for and eventually join the party. They made the SDAP permeable and welcoming to women with a limited range of sociability, who would have kept their distance from meetings of a party cell, where male social norms of behavior were generally dominant. They also emphasized the tertiary sector of party life distant from the primary political decisions and activities. The majority of female socialist party members were from the working class, and for them membership in a trade union was the most common other form of engagement.]]></description>
