Abstract

5. Labor and the South
Ross, M. H. | July 7, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

Despite some hesitancy and confusion in union ranks, there is a likelihood that before the year is out, organized labor will have another Southern drive under way. The very fact that union leaders are considering the completion of labor's largest unfinished job is itself encouraging in view of current jurisdictional problems, widespread disaffection among White union members in some areas and past lack of success in winning large groups of Southern workers in key industries. From labor's viewpoint, the recent anti-union offensive and secessionist tactics of the White Councils would seem to call for organization of the South as a matter of self-defense.
