I enjoyed the book

I bet many under 40 doesn`t even know who Walter Reuther was.He championed many gains for working people like decent pay and benifits,health and safety and others. Sadly the power elite is taking many of those things away in just the last few years with this so called free trade being the catalyst. Some people might call Walter Reuther a socialist.In the end most people would go along with his way of thinking than the extreme right wing forces that rule today. Isn`t it interesting all the liberal warriors that died during this period.JFK,MLK,RFK and Walter Reuther. At any rate a good book written by his daughter Lisa.

The true story of a legendary American labor leader

Putting The World Together My Father Walter Reuther: The Liberal Warrior is the true story of a legendary American labor leader, as told by his daughter. Walter Reuther's determination to promote unionization helped bring about the American middle class, and the benefits packages that workers today take for granted, including health care and pensions. For his tireless work, he survived an assassination attempt that was never solved, and died with his wife in a plane crash that may or may not have been the result of sabotage. Putting The World Together is a remarkable story, touching upon the contributions of all three Reuther Brothers in their efforts to revolutionize the workplace but colored with the emotion of filial love.
