About
My dissertation is an examination of how organized labor conceptualized and reached out to (or chose not to reach out to) the non-unionized, increasingly middle class public of the post-WWII era. I am using a number of case studies to investigate this question of engagement with the public. These case studies are: labor's campaign against the passage of Taft-Hartley; the expulsion from the CIO of federation unions with communist ties; the AFL and CIO merger; and union racketeering hearings, expulsions and Landrum-Griffin.
