CIO Shows How Reds Can Be Kept Out Of Unions
Washington reports that in 1949 the CIO charged 11 international unions with communist domination. Ten unions were expelled or walked out, dropping membership from over 800000 to under 300000, while a few groups like the Longshoremen retained strength. The Electrical Workers and others reorganized, with mixed outcomes, as the CIO cleans its house.
