The AFL and CIO after their December merger have signed only about 100000 new members, with organizers aiming to double the 16 million wage earners in unions. Focused South outreach, a new Department of Organization, and barriers in white collar and female-dominated fields slow growth amid lingering opposition in the South and from employers. The piece notes broader acceptance of collective bargaining and the link between higher consumer purchasing power and national welfare, set against McCarthy’s 1952–1954 political activity.
