The author based this account largely on his own experience as legislative representative for the United Auto Workers-CIO from 1943 to 1947, as well as on documents and conversations from that period, supplemented with historical research. This study of policy-making in union headquarters and in Washington centers on the 1945 splits within the CIO as well as the sharp division between the \"social\" CIO and the \"opportunist\" AFL. In addition, it focuses on the Labor Management (Taft-Hartley) Act of 1947 that divided an already fragmented movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Irving Richter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521533260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521533263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.10w x 0.44d","brand":"Irving Richter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946724622591,"sku":"9780521533263","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f64ecf39-bb6a-4a7f-8534-a113526d8381.jpg?v=1681514776","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/labors-struggles-1945-1950-irving-richter-9780521533263","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
