Also represented are union organizers, labor historians, and publishers of labor periodicals such as "Labor News." The second set interviews were conducted in the spring and summer of 1974 and focused on labor unions, right to work laws, strikes, featherbedding, union negotiations, State Labor Council, labor-management Labor Relations in Maine relations, carpenters, boot and shoe workers, women in industry, and relations between the international and the locals of individual unions.
