This book is a record of the relentless struggle for equal rights by the International Longshoremen's & Warehousemen's Union (ILWU), a union that, ahead of its time, was racially integrated in the 1940s. The union's fight for social and economic equality, led by Harry Bridges and other union organizers, created a new model for union organizing and extended beyond its powerful presence on the West Coast, to impact the national landscape of labor relations. Carefully researched, this book details the ILWU's pivotal contributions to the Civil Rights Movement, and chronicles the union's role in shaping a more just society.
