The Reuther Library Celebrates the Life of Walter Reuther Volume 11 2007 than to have done it well.” The second of five children, Reuther was born on September 1, 1907, in Wheeling, West Virginia. His father and mother, Valentine and Anna, raised their family to hold dear traditional values such as hard work and disciplined living. Valentine also taught them the essentials of unionism and social justice. “At my father’s knee,” Walter later recalled, “we learned the philosophy of trade unionism. We got the struggles, the hopes and aspirations of working people every- day.” Walter Reuther left school at the age of 15 to take a tool and die apprenticeship at a local factory. In 1927 Reuther, like so many before him, journeyed to Detroit in the hope of find- ing more fruitful employment. He landed a job at the Ford Motor Company where he was quickly promoted to the task of supervising a group of die makers. Despite the demands of his job, Walter also called upon his enormous energy and drive to finish his high school diploma. These characteristics served him well his entire life. The years 1936 and 1937 were pivotal both for the United Automobile Workers and Walter Reuther.

    Our Union Fabriks: Studies in the Working Class Series editors: Ingo Schmidt and Jeff Taylor Capital is dead labor. Karl Marx Fabriks: Studies in the Working Class provides a broad-based forum for labour studies research. Of particular interest are works that challenge familiar national and institutional narratives, focusing instead on gender-based, occupational, racial, and regional divisions among workers and on strategies for fostering working-class solidarity. The series also seeks to resurrect both social class analysis and the view of labour movements as a potentially liberating social force. It invites contributions not only from labour historians but from indus- trial relations scholars, political scientists, economists, sociologists and social movement theorists, and anyone else whose concerns lie with the history and organization of labour, its philosophical underpinnings, and the struggle for economic and social justice.

  • The Unknown Origins of the March on Washington: Civil Rights Politics and the Black Working Class
    The Unknown Origins of the March on Washington: Civil Rights Politics and the Black Working Class William P. Jones The very decade which has witnessed the decline of legal Jim Crow has also seen the rise of de facto segregation in our most fundamental socioeconomic institutions,” vet- eran civil rights activist Bayard Rustin wrote in 1965, pointing out that black work- ers were more likely to be unemployed, earn low wages, work in “jobs vulnerable to automation,” and live in impoverished ghettos than when the U.S. Supreme Court banned legal segregation in 1954. Historians have attributed that divergence to a nar- rowing of African American political objectives during the 1950s and early 1960s, away from demands for employment and economic reform that had dominated the agendas of civil rights organizations in the 1940s and later regained urgency in the late 1960s. Jacquelyn Dowd Hall and other scholars emphasize the negative effects of the Cold War, arguing that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and other civil rights organizations responded to domestic anticom- munism by distancing themselves from organized labor and the Left and by focusing on racial rather than economic forms of inequality. Manfred Berg and Adam Fair- clough offer the more positive assessment that focusing on racial equality allowed civil rights activists to appropriate the democratic rhetoric of anticommunism and solidify alliances with white liberals during the Cold War, although they agree that “anti- communist hysteria retarded the struggle for racial justice and narrowed the political Research for this article was supported by a National Endowment for the Humanities/Newhouse Fellowship at the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and the Graduate School at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

  • Teaching the March on Washington
    Nearly a quarter-million people descended on the nation’s capital for the 1963 March on Washington. As the signs on the opposite page remind us, the march was not only for civil rights but also for jobs and freedom. Bottom left: Martin Luther King Jr., who delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech during the historic event, stands with marchers. Bottom right: A. Philip Randolph, the architect of the march, links arms with Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers and the most prominent white labor leader to endorse the march. Teaching the March on Washington O n August 28, 1963, the March on Washington captivated the nation’s attention. Nearly a quarter-million people—African Americans and whites, Christians and Jews, along with those of other races and creeds— gathered in the nation’s capital. They came from across the country to demand equal rights and civil rights, social justice and economic justice, and an end to exploitation and discrimination. After all, the “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom” was the march’s official name, though with the passage of time, “for Jobs and Freedom” has tended to fade. ; The march was the brainchild of longtime labor leader A. PhilipR andolph, and was organized by Bayard RINGER Rustin, a charismatic civil rights activist. Together, they orchestrated the largest nonviolent, mass protest T in American history. It was a day full of songs and speeches, the most famous of which Martin Luther King : AFP/S Jr. delivered in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial. top 23, 23, GE Last month marked the 50th anniversary of the march.

L. | LCR: The first thing we would like to ask is what are your general impressions on the future of UAW and what kinds of efforts do you think the new leadership can make to combat the decline in IUn Imembership due to automation and other structural factors? DF: I think perhaps in terms of the workforce itself, the worst is over. As late as 1979, the member- ship in our union was 1.5 million, and now in the last year or so it's about 1.1 million. We'll never be Z back to 1978-79, not only because of the decline in the auto industry, but we also have a highly organi- zed agricultural implement industry that is probably in a state of permanent decline more severe than auto. In the auto industry you might have a bit more decline, but not as dramatic as a lot of people say it is going to be. On the other hand I think progress can be made by conducting organizing drives in non- traditional areas: among white-collar workers in industry, in universities where we've had some success and among other service employees. The UAW, along with any other institution, has to have the ability to change with times and events. I'm not as pessimistic about the future as other people are.

  • Tom Kahn and the Fight for Democracy: a Political Portrait and Personal Recollection
    Tom Kahn and the Fight for Democracy: A Political Portrait and Personal Recollection Rachelle Horowitz Editor’s Note: The names of Tom Kahn and Rachelle Horowitz should be better known than they are. Civil rights leader John Lewis certainly knew them. Recalling how the 1963 March on Washington was organised he said, ‘I remember this young lady, Rachelle Horowitz, who worked under Bayard [Rustin], and Rachelle, you could call her at three o'clock in the morning, and say, "Rachelle, how many buses are coming from New York? How many trains coming out of the south? How many buses coming from Philadelphia? How many planes coming from California?" and she could tell you because Rachelle Horowitz and Bayard Rustin worked so closely together. They put that thing together.’ There were compensations, though. Activist Joyce Ladner, who shared Rachelle Horowitz's one bedroom apartment that summer, recalled, ‘There were nights when I came in from the office exhausted and ready to sleep on the sofa, only to find that I had to wait until Bobby Dylan finished playing his guitar and trying out new songs he was working on before I could claim my bed.’ Tom Kahn also played a major role in organising the March on Washington, not least in writing (and rewriting) some of the speeches delivered that day, including A. Philip Randolph’s. When he died in 1992 Kahn was praised by the Social Democrats USA as ‘an incandescent writer, organizational Houdini, and guiding spirit of America's Social Democratic community for over 30 years.’ This account of his life was written by his comrade and friend in 2005.

  • 20190901 Martin Luther King and Legacy of Organized
    Martin Luther King Jr. and the Legacy of Organized Labor Rev Gary Kowalski, UCOT September 1, 2019 sermon Bernie Sanders doesn’t know the half of it. Vermont’s fuzzy-headed Senator is fond of reminding audiences that Martin Luther King Jr. was in Memphis, Tennessee, the day he died, not to fight Jim Crow, but to support a strike by the city’s sanitation workers. The garbage men there–almost all of them black–had recently formed a chapter of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees to demand better wages and working conditions. Two garbagemen had just been crushed to death when the big compactor on the trash truck malfunctioned. But the city refused to recognize their union, and when the 1,300 employees walked off their jobs, marching under picket signs reading “I Am A Man,” the police broke up the rally with mace and billy clubs. Tanks lined the streets. Go back and look at the images. It was like Tianamen Square, but in Tennessee. After the mayor threatened to fire every one of the striking workers and a local court issued an injunction against any further demonstrations, the union’s leaders called on Dr. King to visit Memphis. It was an invitation he couldn’t refuse. For the biggest obstacles that kept people of color from participating fully in the American Dream were not just racial but social and economic in nature. “What good is it to sit at a lunch counter,” Dr. King often asked, “if you can’t afford a hamburger?” So of course he had to go to Memphis to campaign for a workingman’s right to earn an honest wage.

    Page 12 September 2011 The Life of Walter P. Reuther By Thomas Featherstone, Walter Reuther Library, Wayne State University, Detroit, Mich. Walter Reuther is often remembered as the most ac- complished leader in the history of the American labor movement. A man of character, resolve and boundless en- ergy, he sought to level the playing field for American workers. Through his efforts, millions of working families continue to enjoy a more secure future. Reuther was ambitious, but took pride in being the na- tion’s lowest-paid union president. As head of the United Automobile Workers (UAW) from 1946 to 1970, he held enormous economic power, but used it to better the lives of the union rank and file. As an advisor to four American presidents Reuther had political influence, but applied it on behalf of the disadvantaged. He spoke and lived his guiding philosophy: "There is no greater calling than to serve your fellow men. There is no greater contribution than to help the weak. There is no greater satisfaction than to do it well." The second of five children, Reuther was born on Sep- tember 1, 1907, in Wheeling, West Virginia. He learned about social issues in family debates moderated by his fa- ther, Valentine, an active member in the Brewery Workers union. Walter Reuther recalled, "At my father’s knee we learned the philosophy of trade unionism.
