Baltimore and London: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1986. Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7. Third Printing, 1986. Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. Gently used book with clean and unmarked wraps, slight wear to some edges, no spine creases. Binding tight, solid and square. Former owner name on endpaper. Internals in fine condition. Robert Zieger analyzes the experience of organized labor from 1920 to 1985, focusing on themes that unify and the turning points that punctuate the period. He discusses such issues as revitalization and growth of the unions in the 1930s, their political relationship with the Democratic Party, the role of workers during World War II, the expansion of collective bargaining and political power in the 1950s and early 1960s, and the declining fortunes of labor unions from the 1968 elections through the Reagan administration. He also examines the internal relations between the A, F. L. and the C. I. O. and others that helped shape the fate of the labor movement. 233 pages. Index. 8vo. 1986, The Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore and London
