About This Item
Sailor's Union of the Pacific, 1986. PRESENTATIION COPY INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR: "For Stan Weir, who may disagree with much herein, but of whom it must be said that without him this book would not have been written. Stephen Schwartz." The recipient was a labor activist and writer. "Blue-collar intellectual and activist publisher, Stan Weir devoted his life to the advocacy of his fellow workers. Weir was both a thoughtful observer and an active participant in many of the key struggles that shaped the labor movement and the political left in postwar America. He reported firsthand from the front lines of decisive fights over the nature of unions in the auto industry, the resistance to automation on the waterfront, and battles over racial integration in the workplace and within unions themselves." With Weir's highlighting of key passages and names in the book. A great association copy. . Signed. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
