Ken Germanson, Allied Industrial Workers international union staff member, AIW newspaper editor, and president of the Wisconsin Labor History Society (WLHS), talks with Michigan State University Labor and Industrial Relations Professor Emeritus John Revitte via telephone. They talk about projects they might partner on about the AIW and labor history, upcoming conferences they will attend, the split within the AIW between those allied with the CIO and those backing the AFL, and how a corruption scandal affected one section of the AIW while the majority of the union was clean. Revitte also shares a story of his efforts to unionize graduate students at University of Massachusetts-Amherst and talks about his own career path.
