Neither an autobiography nor a scholarly analysis, Labor's
Struggles, 1945-1950: A Participant's View is a skilful blend of
both genres. Informative and original in its insights and analyses,
this book provides the reader with information available from no
other source. These insights must be included in any subsequent
efforts to interpret this period in labour history. Richter based
this account largely on his own experience as legislative
representative for the United Auto Workers - C.I.O. from 1943 to
1947, as well as on documents and conversations from that period,
supplemented with historical research. This study of policy making
in union headquarters and in Washington focuses on the 1945 splits
within the C.I.O. as well as the sharp divisions between the
'social' C.I.O. and the 'opportunistic' A.F.L. In addition, it
focuses on the Labour Management (Taft-Hartley) Act of 1947 which
divided an already fragmented movement.
