A portrait of the IRRA's founders as young men
Article Abstract:
Relations between union officials and management at many companies did not stabilize until the US entered World War II, with the instrument for stability being the National War Labor Board. The NWLB, was unique amony the many new government offices set up by Washington to oversee the economy during the war. The Industrial Labor Relations Ass'n was founded by NWLB 'graduates.' IRRA founders claimed they were impartial but their goal was always to reduce the violence in union-management relations, lead labor and business spokespeople towards mutual respect, and raise standards of living.
