330 .. $a Dedicated to organizing workers from diverse racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds,
many of whom were considered "unorganizable" by other unions, the progressive New
York City-based labor union District 65 counted among its 30,000 members retail clerks,
office workers, warehouse workers, and wholesale workers. In this book, the author
presents a distinctive study of District 65 and its efforts to secure economic equality
for minority workers in sales and processing jobs in small, low-end shops and warehouses
throughout the city. This book shows how organizers fought tirelessly to achieve better
hours and higher wages for "unskilled," unrepresented workers and to destigmatize
the kind of work they performed. Closely examining the strategies employed by District
65 from the 1930s through the early Cold War years, the author assesses the impact
of the McCarthy era on the union's quest for economic equality across divisions of
race, ethnicity, and skill. Though their stories have been overshadowed by those of
auto, steel, and electrical workers who forced American manufacturing giants to unionize,
the District 65 workers believed their union provided them with an opportunity to
re-value their work, the result of an economy inclining toward fewer manufacturing
jobs and more low-wage service and processing jobs. The author recounts how District
65 first broke with the CIO over the latter's hostility to left-oriented politics
and organizing agendas, then rejoined to facilitate alliances with the NAACP. In telling
the story of District 65 and detailing community organizing efforts during the first
part of the Cold War and under the AFL-CIO umbrella, this book reexamines the history
of the left-led unions of the Congress of Industrial Organizations. -- Adapted from
