About The Book

  “We Are All Leaders”

        describes a kind of union qualitatively different from the bureaucratic

        business unions that make up the AFL-CIO today. From African American

        nutpickers in St. Louis, chemical and rubber workers in Akron, textile

        workers in the South, and bootleg miners in Pennsylvania to tenant farmers

        in the Mississippi Delta, packinghouse and garment workers in Minnesota,

        seamen in San Francisco, and labor party campaigns throughout the country,

        workers in the 1930s were experimenting with community-based unionism.

      Contributors to this volume

        draw on interviews with participants in the events described, first-person

        narratives, trade union documents, and other primary sources to tell what

        workers of the 1930s did. The alternative unionism of the 1930s was democratic,

        deeply rooted in mutual aid among workers in different crafts and work

        sites, and politically independent. The key to it was a value system based

        on egalitarianism. The cry, “We are all leaders!” resonated

        among rank-and-file activists. Their struggle, often ignored by historians,

        has much to teach us today about union organizing.
