Schatz tells the story of the team of young economists and lawyers recruited to the National War Labor Board to resolve union-management conflicts during the Second World War. The crew (including Clark Kerr, John Dunlop, Jean McKelvey, and Marvin Miller) exerted broad influence on the U.S. economy and society for the next forty years. They handled thousands of grievances and strikes. They founded academic industrial relations programs. When the 1960s student movement erupted, universities appointed them as top administrators charged with quelling the conflicts. In the 1970s, they developed systems that advanced public sector unionization and revolutionized employment conditions in Major League Baseball. Schatz argues that the Labor Board vets, who saw themselves as disinterested technocrats, were in truth utopian reformers aiming to transform the world. Beginning in the 1970s stagflation era, they faced unforeseen opposition, and the cooperative relationships they had fostered withered. Yet their protege George Shultz used mediation techniques learned from his mentors to assist in the integration of Southern public schools, institute affirmative action in industry, and conduct Cold War negotiations with Mikhail Gorbachev"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a United States. $b National Labor Relations Board. 610 17 $a United States. $b National Labor Relations Board. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00530430 650 0 $a Industrial relations $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Labor laws and legislation $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Labor $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Industrial relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00971609 650 7 $a Labor. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00989798 650 7 $a Labor laws and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00989967 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Schatz, Ronald W., 1949- $t Labor board crew $d Urbana : University of Illinois Press, [2021] $z 9780252052507 $w (DLC) 2020026839 830 0 $a Working class in American history. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021020524.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EB9E80E49F4211EBBB7E29A634ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
