- Title
The Racial practices of the ILGWU--A Reply.
- Authors
Marshall, Ray
- Abstract
The article presents a reply to the comments made by Herbert Hill on the paper, Unions and the Negro Community, published in the January 1964 issue of the "Industrial and Labor Relations Review." According to the author of the paper, the commentary has taken issues with three points: First there is the issue of whether or not Hill was stopped by committee members from testifying before the U.S. House subcommittee. Second, whether or not the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's effort to secure de-certification of anti-Negro trade unions failed. Third, whether or not the charge by Ernest Holmes that the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU) barred him from membership and followed a policy of limiting the number of Negroes admitted to membership was withdrawn on the basis of a joint stipulation where the union agreed to continue its nondiscrimination policies. The author states that he has no disagreement with Hill on the question of decertifying criminatory unions. Hill claims that the stipulation ordered the ILGWU to do precisely what an investigation commissioner had ordered it to do earlier, but his quotation from the New York Times on July 2, 1962 does not support his contention.
