Examines the changes that occurred within organized labor and traces their influence on the decline of the shorter hour's movement. This work examines the political context in which the shorter hour's movement emerged within Local 600 in the 1940s, then chronicles the attempts by Walter Reuther, the head of the UAW, to suppress it.
