Don't Sleep with Stevens! The J.P. Stevens Campaign and the Struggle to Organize the South, 1963-80

"Despite the prominence of the Stevens campaign, this is the first book-length account, and it draws on a rich body of underutilized archival material. Blending these records with oral histories and press accounts, Minchin highlights the important influence that the case had on American labor relations, especially in encouraging other firms to copy the Stevens company's tactics. For the first time, Minchin also explores the role that race played in determining the fate of organizing efforts, showing how difficult it was to build grassroots interracial unions."--BOOK JACKET.
