Reuther Rose From Family in Wheeling to CIO Leader
Walter Reuther, born to a Socialist father in Wheeling West Virginia, rose to head the CIO as a relentless labor strategist. He survived assassination attempts and labor battles, shaping UAW power with firm anti Communist stances and bold bargaining. He joined Ford in Detroit, led the 1930s sit down strike, and steered autoworker unions through postwar negotiations.
