Synopsis
Explore how corruption and racketeering touched unions and how reforms reshaped labor governance.
This nonfiction work surveys the persistence of corruption in the labor movement, from early cases to modern codes of ethics. It explains how racketeering emerged in certain industries, the roles of local leaders, and the ways unions and governments responded to abuse. The book also contrasts idealistic aims with practical realities, showing how reforms were designed to protect members and sustain the movement’s public mission.
- Learn how different factors—industry, leadership, and membership dynamics—shaped opportunities for corruption.
- See how the AFL-CIO and allied bodies created codes of ethical conduct and how those rules were applied.
- Understand the distinction between legitimate union leadership and racketeering or external predation.
- Discover the limits of federation power and why continued vigilance matters for labor reform.
