Background Of Lewis Fight To Control Labor Setup
An overview traces John L. Lewis's 11 year clash within organized labor from the 1935 AFL split that formed the CIO through his 1940 41 leadership shifts and 1946 AFL return. It notes splits with Philip Murray over Communist ties and loan disputes, plus the symbol of power in LaFayette Square and the ongoing wage battle shaping government stance and union influence. The piece frames the CIO AFL rivalry as the driver of strikes and policy, with Murray and Lewis each seeking dominance in wage boosts and organizational control.
