Description

Alabama has the largest industrial work force in the South. As a consequence, it also has the most significant labor movement in the region, a movement created in the face of an unusual combination of obstacles, yet, as this book shows, by the 1970s organized labor had established itself as a major economic and political force in Alabama.
