The 1940s were a pivotal decade in the history of the American labor movement. Large migrations significantly changed the composition of the industrial work force while, simultaneously, the organized labor movement sought to consolidate its base.

American labor historians and labor studies specialists will find this collection fills a major void in the research on American labor.
