- catalog abstract ""The United Mine Workers of America epitomized the New Deal concept of "junior partner" in the corporate economy, whereby unions made some concessions to management in return for better salaries and benefits. This book tells how that union's Welfare and Retirement Fund blazed a trail in industrial benefits and served as a barometer of labor relations in the post-World War II era - and how union leaders and changes in the industry eventually undermined the program." "A Social Contract for the Coal Fields tells how John L. Lewis made the creation of a miner's welfare fund an all-consuming issue in his negotiations with coal companies, and of the struggle that ensued between Lewis and the coal operators for control of the Fund. Mulcahy covers the Fund's successes and reveals the problems it had in fulfilling the social contract forged between miners, union, and management."--Jacket.".
