Book on Ed Sadlowski and Steelworkers Union's reform effort in the 1970s.

If you are reading threads in this group you may remember the insurgency campaign that Ed Sadlowski ran in the mid 1970s for International President of the Steelworkers Union. Ed died this year and one of Ed's grandsons, along with a couple of other people are working on a book about this period.

This was a national campaign and while Ed lost it led to democratic reform of the union and many other positive things around the country.

If you were involved in the campaign, or related efforts, during this period and would like to contribute information or stories for the book please let me know. You can PM me. Of course you may know a relative or friend who was active also. Thanks.
