- Description:
- Walter Campbell, former Regional Director for the Allied Industrial Workers (AIW) Region 7 in west Michigan and former Secretary-Treasurer of the Michigan State AFL-CIO, talks about the beginnings of the United Way, a coalition of charitable organizations pooling their efforts in fundraising and support. Campbell describes how community fund raising began in cities in Michigan and how labor unions became involved in the 1930s and 1940s. Campbell says that in 1947 Walter Reuther and Henry Ford II cooperated to create the United Way of Michigan which served to streamline giving and emphasized the positive role unions can play in their communities. He also talks about his work life and his involvement in organized labor. Campbell is interviewed by John Revitte, Michigan State University professor of Labor and Industrial Relations.
