The infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture is the Scripture itself; and therefore when there is a question about the true and full sense of any Scripture (which is not manifold, but one), it must be searched by other places that speak more clearly.

Hour Of DecisionHour of Decision Episode 25: Walter Reuther: “For a Soviet America”Lew explores the career of United Autoworkers (UAW) union leader Walter Reuther, and the central role he played in the implementation of the Fabian strategy in America. As a young man, he spent time in the communist USSR, wrote glowing letters home about his experience, signing one of them “Yours for a Soviet America.”Reuther was a central figure in the bloody battles against GM, Chrysler, and the prolonged struggle against Henry Ford. After the war, in the charged anti-communist atmosphere in America, Reuther ditches the communists, turning on a dime as do many Fabian leftists in sudde...

Organize the Unorganized: The Rise of the CIOEpisode 9: LessonsThis final episode of Organize the Unorganized is devoted to key lessons of the CIO moment. All of the guests on this program were asked about this basic question, and we try to represent all of their answers on this episode. The negative lessons, points where guests were keen to note the differences between the 30s and the present moment, focused on the changed economic situation and the issue of labor law. The more positive lessons pertained to union democracy, overcoming divisions in the working class, mass organizing, raising expectations, and seizing the moment.

Organize the Unorganized: The Rise of the CIOEpisode 5: Little SteelThis episode is devoted to the Little Steel strike in the summer of 1937, a tragic failure for the Steel Workers Organizing Committee and the CIO, and one that illustrated the limits of the New Deal order. It might appear excessive to devote an entire episode of the podcast to one strike, but Little Steel was in many ways a turning point, a key hinge in our story. To capture it well we also need to delve into the more general history of steel organizing in America, a fantastically brutal affair that reveals the soul of American capitalism.

2021-02-0425 minTales from the Reuther LibrarySEIU: A Successful Union in an Era of Labor DeclineDr. Timothy Minchin explores how the SEIU nearly doubled its membership from 1980-1995, during a time of significantly declining numbers in most other American labor unions. Through an exploration of SEIU’s membership drives at nursing homes, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and its long-running Justice for Janitors campaign, Minchin credits the union’s growth to a combination of organizing, affiliation with independent unions, legislative advances for public employee unions, and the prevalence of low-wage jobs in the growing service sector. Dr. Minchin is a Professor of History at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia.
