The New Labor Radicalism and New York City's Garment Industry Summary

The New Labor Radicalism and New York City's Garment Industry: Progressive Labor Insurgents During the 1960s by Leigh David Benin

First published in 2000. This study examines how Progressive Labor, an antirevisionist offshoot of the Communist Party USA, attempted to revolutionize the labor front in New York City's garment industry during the 1960s. An ideologically driven group, whose founders were loyal to Stalinism and attracted by Maoism, Progressive Labor set out in 1962 to become the vanguard of the American working class.
