Description
Labor historian Peter Rachleff tells the heartbreaking but empowering story of P-9, a local union trying to resist management's drive for concessions while fending off a conservative national union leadership unwilling to support its own members. Includes a history of the radical International Union of All Workers from the 30s.Tags
