Abstract
This thesis examines the problems that American black workers have encountered in seeking entrance into the American labor movement. In particular, it looks at the historical changes in the unionization of black workers, as well as the structural and functional aspects of the largest single organized labor body in the United States--the AFL-CIO. The appendix contains interviews with both Mr. Donald Slaiman, Director of the Civil Rights Department of the AFL-CIO, and the Reverend Jesse Jackson.
