- Description:
- In an oral history interview, Robert Repas, professor emeritus of the Michigan State University School of Labor and Industrial Relations, talks about being admitted to Ruskin College in England on a trade unionist scholarship and his tour of the continent during the post war period. He decries the failure of American labor to take a truly international approach in Europe after the war because of the fear of Communist influence on unions and how little the CIO, in particular, did to assist in the rebuilding the German unions until Walter Reuther assumed CIO leadership. He also talks about his staff position at the School for Workers in Wisconsin, teaching labor history, running afoul of company owners and conservative faculty and describes his "most productive years" spent working with the American Friends Service Committee and Hugh Rickert in Philadelphia and later teaching in union schools. Repas is interviewed by John Revitte, MSU professor of Labor and Industrial Relations.
