Description: "This volume fills a neglected chapter in contemporary labor history. The adoption of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959, which provided federal support for civil liberties and fair elections in unions, triggered a wave of insurgency as reformers throughout the labor movement fought to gain control of their unions by strengthening union democracy and eradicating corruption. This book tells their story."--Page [245].
