Letter to Walter P. Reuther from Douglas Fraser about DRUM

Subject

Detroit--Race relations | Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement | Reuther, Walter, 1907-1970 | International Union, United Automobile, Aircraft, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America

Description

Despite DRUM’s upstart status, its militant stance on race in the auto factories and criticisms of union leadership quickly caught the attention of Walter Reuther and the UAW. DRUM claimed the UAW did not care about the plight of its Black members, while the union worried that the wildcat strikes weakened their ability to negotiate with employers.
