Rebuilding the Pulp and Paper Workers Union, 1933-1941

Beschreibung

Winner of the Philip Taft Labor History Award (New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University) This study of the pulp and paper workers' union helps explain the AFL's often limited response to worker militancy in the 1930s as well as the more institutionalized moderation that emerged from the labor upsurge. Zieger sympathetically explains the union's limited goals but steady achievements--i.e., raising wages, narrowing differentials, and organizing blacks, women, and ethnically diverse workers--without resorting to strikes.
