In a final interview, former Mine Workers president John L Lewis urges the labor movement to refocus on organizing rather than infighting. He warns that without ignition of organizing zeal, wage declines, social unrest, and child labor could return, criticizing AFL CIO for expelling the Teamsters. He recalls his long career and speaks with dry humor as age and memory show signs of fade, but his call to organize remains clear.
