Description:

Progressive unions flourished in the 1930s, yet in 1950, few progressive unions remained. Why? 'Rights Delayed' argues that anti-communism and Congressional conservatism merely intensified the main reason for the decline of progressive unions: the New Deal state's focus on legal procedure.
