"I've had what I think is the richest, most self~fulfilling kind of experience that a human being has. I have been living what I believe . "~WALTER REUTHER. For more than thirty years, Walter Reuther was one of the most dynamic and controversial labor leaders in the United States. His untimely death on May 9, 1970, ended an exciting chapter in union history and American life. In this fascinating, fast moving biography Frank Cormier and William J.

Reuther, a genius at collective bargaining also led the U.A.W.'s pioneering for such plans as company~paid hospital~surgica lmedical benefits, cost~of~living protection, and guaranteed annual income. When a small jet plane crashed into a wooded area near Pellston, Michigan, the life and career of Walter Reuther came to an abrupt end, and his friends and enemies, his associates and strangers mourned the loss of this man who so intensely lived what he believed.…
