  • Interracial Unionism in the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union and the Development of Black Labor Organizations, 1933-1940
    THEY SAW THEMSELVES AS WORKERS: INTERRACIAL UNIONISM IN THE INTERNATIONAL LADIES’ GARMENT WORKERS’ UNION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLACK LABOR ORGANIZATIONS, 1933-1940 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Julia J. Oestreich August, 2011 Doctoral Advisory Committee Members: Bettye Collier-Thomas, Committee Chair, Department of History Kenneth Kusmer, Department of History Michael Alexander, Department of Religious Studies, University of California, Riverside Annelise Orleck, Department of History, Dartmouth College ABSTRACT “They Saw Themselves as Workers” explores the development of black membership in the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union (ILGWU) in the wake of the “Uprising of the 30,000” garment strike of 1933-34, as well as the establishment of independent black labor or labor-related organizations during the mid-late 1930s. The locus for the growth of black ILGWU membership was Harlem, where there were branches of Local 22, one of the largest and the most diverse ILGWU local. Harlem was also where the Negro Labor Committee (NLC) was established by Frank Crosswaith, a leading black socialist and ILGWU organizer. I provide some background, but concentrate on the aftermath of the marked increase in black membership in the ILGWU during the 1933-34 garment uprising and end in 1940, when blacks confirmed their support of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and when the labor-oriented National Negro Congress (NNC) was irrevocably split by struggles over communist influence. By that time, the NLC was also struggling, due to both a lack of support from trade unions and friendly organizations, as well as the fact that the Committee was constrained by the political views and personal grudges of its founder.

    SEWING THE SEEDS OF STATEHOOD: GARMENT UNIONS, AMERICAN LABOR, AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL, 1917-1952 By ADAM M. HOWARD A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2003 Copyright 2003 by Adam M. Howard ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The research and writing of this dissertation, spanning a period of five years, required assistance and understanding from a variety of individuals and groups, all of whom I wish to thank here. My advisor, Robert McMahon, has provided tremendous encouragement to me and this project since its first conception during his graduate seminar in diplomatic history. He instilled in me the courage necessary to attempt bridging three subfields of history, and his patience, insight, and willingness to allow his students to explore varied approaches to the study of diplomatic history are an inspiration. Robert Zieger, in whose research seminar this project germinated into a more mature study, offered tireless assistance and essential constructive criticism. Additionally, his critical assessments of my evidence and prose will influence my writing in the years to come. I also will always remember fondly our numerous conversations regarding the vicissitudes of many a baseball season, which served as needed distractions from the struggles of researching and writing a dissertation. Ken Wald has consistently backed my work both intellectually and financially through his position as the Chair of the Jewish Studies Center at the University of Florida and as a member of my committee. His availability and willingness to offer input and advice on a variety of topics have been most helpful in completing this study.

  • Political Incorporation and Political Extrusion: Party Politics and Social Forces in Postwar New York
    _________ C HAP T E R 6 ______---'__ Political Incorporation and Political Extrusion: Party Politics and Social Forces in Postwar New York THE MOVEMENT of new social forces into the political system is one of the central themes in the study of American political development on both the national and local levels. For example, Samuel P. Huntington has character­ ized the realignment of 1800 as marking "the ascendancy of the agrarian Republicans over the mercantile Federalists, 1860 the ascendancy of the industrializing North over the plantation South, and 1932 the ascendancy of the urban working class over the previously dominant business groups."! And the process of ethnic succession-the coming to power of Irish and German immigrants, followed by the Italians and Jews, and then by blacks and Hispanics- is a major focus of most analyses of the development of American urban politics. Most accounts of political incorporation, however, are based on an analy­ sis of only one face of a two-sided process. The process through which new social forces gain a secure position in American politics is simultaneously a process of political exclusion. This process involves not simply a conflict between the new group and established forces over whether or not the new­ comers will gain representation, but also a struggle over precisely who will assume leadership of the previously excluded group. Established political forces are not indifferent to the outcome of these leadership struggles, and the defeat of potential leaders who are regarded as unacceptable by estab­ lished forces is the price that emergent groups must pay to gain access to po\,ver.

  • A History of Labor and Blue Cross
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Columbia University Academic Commons Seeking Common Ground: A History of Labor and Blue Cross Gerald Markowitz and David Rosner City University of New York Abstract. In recent years, voluntary health insurance costs have become a major source of friction in labor-management negotiations. What was once a “fringe” has led to job actions, strikes, and intensive bargaining. We examine the history of labor’s participation in New York Blue Cross from the 1930s to the recent past and show that labor’s participation in the plan was crucial to Blue Cross’s success in the plan’s early decades. By the late 1950s, serious tensions developed over rate increases and the participation of labor in Blue Cross governance. Ultimately, the issue was one of the controi over what was provided by the plans and who would pay for the costs of care. We posit that labor was never able to achieve an important role in the control of the third- party payer, and in the antilabor environment of the 1980s this proved det- rimental to labor’s interests. The history of Blue Cross may be presented as the story of administra- tors, planners, and physicians. Yet this history also reflects the rapidly changing social, political, intellectual, and medical environment of New York City. In the early 1900s New York City’s labor and immigrant com- munities had developed an uneven patchwork of fraternal, union, and com- mercial health insurance plans. Although they provided a measure of pro- tection, the instability and inadequacy of these self-administered and small-scale insurance systems had become evident by the Great Depres- sion.

  • The Jewish Labor Movement in the United States
    4>&&l>&&><t><><><>e<$><>4>Q<>^^ THE JEWISH LABOR MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES By WILL HERBERG THE JEWISH LABOR MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES BY WILL HERBERG OR AN understanding of the history of the Jewish labor movement in the United States, the early 1930's may profitably be taken as Fconstituting in some sense a watershed or turning point in the development of that movement. These years marked the end of one epoch and the beginning of another, not only for Jewish labor but for the nation as a whole. The early 1930's proved so crucial for a number of interrelated reasons: 1. During these years the effects of the stoppage of foreign immigra- tion, resulting from World War I and the passage of a series of restric- tive laws in the 1920's, began to be felt in the profound changes of composition and structure which the American Jewish community was undergoing. 2. By the early 1930's the Communist bid for power which had shaken the Jewish labor movement to its foundations had been defi- nitely defeated. But the decade of bitter civil war had left permanent marks which contributed to the making of the new period. 3. The economic, social, and labor world into which the Jewish unions emerged out of the 1920's was in many ways a new world. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was in the White House and the New Deal, with incredible speed, was remaking American social policy and transforming the lives and outlook of millions of Americans, particu- larly those composing the working classes of the nation.
