Both branches of US Communism exerted their highest level of influence in the unions, roughly from the formation of the Committee for Industrial Organization in November 1935, later renamed the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), until a few years past the onset of the Cold War in the late 1940s. The stories of the US Communist Party’s (CPUSA) role in the organization and the leading of a number of the industrial unions affiliated with the CIO are well known throughout the literature that dates back nearly half a century.1 *Victor G. Devinatz is Professor of Management at Illinois State University. 1In fact, even before the party’s success in the industrial unions during the mid-1930s and the late 1940s, there were a couple of books written in the pre-CIO era that deal with the Communist Party’s role in the US trade unions during the party’s first few years of existence: see David Saposs, Left-Wing Unionism: A Study of Radical Policies and Tactics (New York: Russell & Russell, 1926) and David M.
