Taylor recruited to the National War Labor Board to resolve union-management conflicts during the Second World War. The crew (including Clark Kerr, John Dunlop, Jean McKelvey, and Marvin Miller) exerted broad influence on the U.S. economy and society for the next 40 years. They handled thousands of grievances and strikes. They founded academic industrial relations programs. When the 1960s student movement erupted, universities appointed them as top administrators charged with quelling the conflicts. In the 1970s, they developed systems that advanced public sector unionisation and revolutionised employment conditions in Major League Baseball. Schatz argues that the Labor Board vets, who saw themselves as disinterested technocrats, were in truth utopian reformers aiming to transform the world. 410 0$aWorking class in American history. 410 0$aIllinois scholarship online. 606 $aIndustrial relations$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLabor laws and legislation$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLabor$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aIndustrial relations$xHistory 615 0$aLabor laws and legislation$xHistory 615 0$aLabor$xHistory 676 $a331.0973 700 $aSchatz$b Ronald W.$f1949-$01556375 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795395003321 996 $aThe Labor Board crew$93819006 997 $aUNINA
