- Title
More Reward Than Punishment: Labor Resilience at Midcentury.
- Authors
Cobble, Dorothy Sue
- Abstract
Dean and Obert rightly urge more attention to Taft-Hartley and move us beyond pat assumptions about the consequences of the CIO alliance with the Democratic Party. Dean and Obert claim the CIO decision to align itself with the Democratic Party had multiple, and generally pernicious, effects. I welcome this opportunity to engage with some of the historical puzzles Adam Dean and Jonathan Obert consider in their provocative take on Taft-Hartley and the CIO. Most critics of the CIO alliance with the Democratic Party fault the CIO for refusing third-party politics and believe that more could have been won had the CIO operated outside the Democratic Party.
