Présentation de l'éditeur

A collection of oral testimonies documenting the trials and tribulations of firebrand union organisers, from the 1930s through to the 1970s. Dozens of working-class heroes tell their stories in their own words in this long-out-of-print classic. From founding unions to responding to sexism, safety violations and fear from within the ranks, Rank and File brings to life the hidden history of firebrand union organisers - in their own words.
