Reuter, BAAning favqulodda qobiliyatli va aqlli rahbari, keyingi o'n yil ichida Amerika siyosatidagi eng qudratli odamga aylanishi mumkin" deb yozgan edi.^[21]

H. Raskin, mehnat muharriri The New York Times, yozgan: "Agar odamning aqli tezligini uning oyoqlari tezligi bilan o'lchash mumkin bo'lsa, Valter Reuter Olimpiya chempioni bo'lar edi".^[37][38] Jorj Romni, Michigan shtatining gubernatori bir marta shunday degan edi: "Uolter Reuter - Detroytdagi eng xavfli odam, chunki hech kim inqilobni amalga oshirishda mohirroq emas, chunki u mavjud jamiyat shakllarini buzmayapti".^[39]

Dastlabki hayot va ta'lim

Reuterning tug'ilgan shahri G'arbiy Virjiniya shtatidagi Uilling shahrida tizimga kiring

Reuter 1907 yil 1 sentyabrda tug'ilgan Wheeling, G'arbiy Virjiniya, Anna (tug'ilgan Stoker) va Valentin Reuterga Germaniyalik amerikaliklar.^[40] Uning otasi Valentin otda ishlaydigan pivo vagon haydovchisi va Sotsialistik 11 yoshida ko'chib kelgan kasaba uyushma tashkilotchisi Germaniya.^[41] Uolter eng yoshi kattaroq besh farzanddan biri edi: Ted, Uolter, Roy, Viktor, Kristin. Valentin har yakshanba kuni o'g'illari uchun munozaralarni olib borar, ularni sariq jurnalistik, bolalar mehnati, ayollarning saylov huquqi va fuqarolik huquqlari kabi kunning ijtimoiy muammolari to'g'risida oyoqlarida o'ylashga o'rgatardi.^[42] Keyinchalik Reuter: "Otamning tizzasida biz kasaba uyushma falsafasini o'rgandik. Biz har kuni mehnatkash odamlarning kurashlari, umidlari va orzu-umidlariga ega bo'ldik" deb esladi.^[43] Bolaligida u va Viktor otasi bilan uchrashish uchun qamoqxonaga tashrif buyurishdi Evgeniy V. Debs, Birinchi Jahon urushi paytida tinchlikparvarligi uchun qamoqda bo'lgan.^[44]

Reuterlar tejamkor edilar va isrof qilmaslikni o'rgandilar. Pulni tejash uchun Valterning onasi Anna o'g'illari uchun ishlatilgan un qoplaridan ichki kiyim tikib berardi.^[45] Portlatilgan shishadan Valentin qisman ko'r bo'lganida, Uolter to'qqiz yoshida oilaviy daromad olish uchun g'alati ishlarni qila boshladi. Keyinchalik u kichik maktab yillarida o'rta maktabni tashlab, oilani boqish uchun mahalliy fabrikada ishlagan.^[45] U ishchilarning xavfsizligi etarli emasligi haqida u o'zi va boshqa uch kishi ko'tarayotgan 400 funt sterling o'lganida yiqilib oyoqning bosh barmog'ini uzib qo'yganini bilgan.^[46]

Reuter o'g'illari yoshligidan irqchilikka oid darslarni olishgan. Bir kuni ular mahalliy bolalar ochiq temir yo'l vagonlarida o'z shaharlari orqali shimolga olib ketilayotgan qora tanli odamlarga tosh otayotganini ko'rishdi. Otalari ularga hech qachon boshqa odamga bunday munosabatda bo'lmaslik haqida qattiq ogohlantirish bergan. Reuter o'g'illari bu saboqni hech qachon unutmaganlar, butun umrlarini barcha odamlar uchun irqiy va iqtisodiy tenglik uchun kurashgan.^[47]

Detroyt uchun uydan jo'nab ketdi

G'arbiy Virjiniya shtatidagi Uilling shahridagi Reuter yodgorligi

1927 yilda, 19 yoshida Reuther Wheeling-dan Detroytga jo'nab ketdi va mutaxassis bilan bahslashdi asbob va matritsa ishlab chiqaruvchisi ish Ford Motor Company Buning uchun 25 yillik tajriba talab etiladi. Usta yoshligida u loyihalarni o'qib, vafot etib, zavoddagi eng ko'p maosh oladigan mexaniklardan biriga aylanishi mumkinligiga hayron bo'ldi.^[48] U Fordda ishlayotganda o'rta maktabni tugatdi va Detroyt Siti kollejiga o'qishga kirdi Ueyn davlat universiteti. 1932 yilda u miting uyushtirgani uchun ishdan bo'shatilgan Norman Tomas nomzodi sifatida AQSh prezidentligiga da'vogar bo'lgan Amerika sotsialistik partiyasi. Uning rasmiy Ford mehnat daftarchasida u o'z ixtiyori bilan ishdan ketganligi aytilgan, ammo Reuterning o'zi tobora ko'zga ko'ringan sotsialistik faoliyati uchun ishdan bo'shatilganligini ta'kidlagan.^[49] Nima bo'lishidan qat'iy nazar, Valter va Viktor bu bolalik orzusini ro'yobga chiqarish va dunyo bo'ylab sayohat qilish uchun eng yaxshi vaqt deb qaror qilishdi.^[50]

Evropa safari

Qachon Genri Ford nafaqaga chiqqan Model T 1927 yilda u Rossiyaga ishlab chiqarish mexanizmlarini sotdi va uskunalarni qanday ishlatishni biladigan amerikalik ishchilar kerak edi. Valter va Viktorga rus ishchilariga dastgohlar va konveyerni qanday boshqarishni o'rgatadigan ishlarga va'da berildi. Birodarlar ushbu ish bilan ta'minlash bo'yicha uch yillik sarguzashtni boshladilar, avval Evropa bo'ylab velosiped haydashdi, so'ngra avtoulov zavodida ishlashdi. Gorkiy, Rossiya bu erda isitilmaydigan zavodlar ko'pincha Farengeytning 30-40 daraja sovuqdan pastroq bo'lgan. U tez-tez "Moskvadagi Daily News" ga xat yozib, kommunistlarning zavodlarni boshqarishi bilan bog'liq ko'plab samarasizliklarni tanqid qildi.^[51]

Rossiyada deyarli ikki yil bo'lganidan so'ng, birodarlar Turkiya, Eron, Hindiston va Xitoy bo'ylab sayohat qildilar. Xitoy dengizidan o'tib, ular Yaponiya bo'ylab velosipedda sayohat qilib Uzoq Sharqdagi turlarini yakunladilar. Nihoyat, qariyb uch yil uydan ketishganidan so'ng, ular Prezident Xarding paroxodida San-Frantsiskoga borish uchun ish topdilar va Detroytga qaytib kelishdi, u erda ukalari Roy allaqachon avtoulovchilarni tashkil qilish bilan juda shug'ullangan edi. Keyinchalik Uolter dunyo bo'ylab sayohat unga "hamma odamlar bir xil darajadagi xavfsizligi, farzandlari uchun ko'proq imkoniyat va, albatta, erkinligi bo'lgan ishning bir xil asosiy insoniy maqsadlarini orzu qiladi. Biz amerikalikka yordam berish orqali o'z hissamizni qo'shishimiz mumkinligini his qildik" deb aytdi. ishchilar kuchli va demokratik kasaba uyushmalarini barpo etishadi, shuning uchun biz ishchilar harakatiga kirdik. "^[52]

Siyosiy mansublik

Michigan shtatining shimoliy qismida joylashgan Uolter va May Reutherning UAW oilaviy ta'lim markazidagi birodarlar Reutherning büstleri. Chapdan o'ngga Roy Royter, Valter Reuter va Viktor Reuter.

Demokratik partiyaga qo'shilishidan oldin Reuter Amerika Sotsialistik partiyasining a'zosi edi. Vaholanki, Reuter har doim buni rad etgan bo'lsa-da, odamlar, shu jumladan J. Edgar Guvver, bir vaqtlar u Kommunistik partiyaning a'zosi bo'lgan deb gumon qilgan.^[53] Bu mavzuda Reuter 1938 yilda: "Men Kommunistik partiyaning a'zosi emasman va hech qachon bo'lmaganman va uning siyosati tarafdori ham bo'lmaganman va hech qanday tarzda uning nazorati yoki ta'siriga bo'ysunmaganman".^[54] Shunga qaramay, odamlar uni 1935-36 yillarda bir necha oy davomida Kommunistik partiyaga badal to'lagan bo'lishi mumkin deb gumon qilishdi va bir manbada uni 1939 yil fevral oyining oxirlarida Kommunistik partiyaning rejalashtirish yig'ilishida qatnashgan deb yozgan edi.^[55] Reuter 1930-yillarning o'rtalarida kommunistlar bilan hamkorlik qildi; bu davr edi Xalq jabhasi va Kommunistik partiya BAAning ichki masalalarida u bilan kelishib oldi; ammo uning uyushmalari antalalist sotsialistlar bilan bo'lgan.^[56][57] Reuter Sotsialistik partiyada faol bo'lib qoldi va 1937 yilda AFL va qora tanlilar uning CIO chiptasiga qarshi chiqqanda Detroyt shahar kengashiga saylanishga urinishda muvaffaqiyatsizlikka uchradi.^[58] Biroq, Prezident Franklin D. Ruzveltning tengsizlikka qarshi kurashish harakatlaridan ta'sirlanib, oxir-oqibat Demokratik partiyaga qo'shildi.

Birlashgan avtomobilsozlar

Avtomobil kompaniyalariga qarshi birinchi g'alaba

Walter Reuther tomonidan UAW a'zolarini tashkil qilish uchun foydalanilgan West Side Local 174 uchun ovozli avtomobil

Evropadan Detroytga qaytgach, Reuter avtostrada yurdi Saut-Bend, Indiana yangi yillik BAW delegati sifatida ikkinchi yillik anjumanda qatnashish. Qaytib kelgach, u Detroytning g'arbiy qismida yangi tashkil etilgan Local 174 prezidenti bo'ldi va Viktor akasi bilan Kelsey Xeysdagi avtomobil gigantlariga qarshi birinchi muvaffaqiyatli zarbani olib bordi, bu Ford Motor Company-ga tormoz barabanlari va g'ildiraklarini etkazib berdi. Asosiy shikoyat konveyerni tezlashtirishga toqat qilib bo'lmaydigan edi. Konveyerning tezlashib borayotgan tezligini ushlab qolish uchun ishchilar qo'llarini va hatto o'z hayotlarini yo'qotmoqdalar. 1936 yil dekabr oyida ishchilar kutilmagan ish tashlashni boshladilar va menejment ularning vakili Valter Reuter bilan muzokaralar olib borguncha zavodni tark etishdan bosh tortdilar.^[59]

Texnikani olib tashlash uchun menejment zavodga kirmoqchi bo'lganida, minglab hamdardlar piyodalar yo'lakchalarini to'sib qo'yishdi va eshik eshiklarini to'sib qo'yishdi. Ford bu tormoz barabanlari va g'ildiraklariga juda muhtoj edi va 10 kunlik zarbadan so'ng tomonlar o'rnashib oldilar. Avtoulov zavodlarini birlashtirishga qaratilgan birinchi yirik UAW g'alabasi qo'lga kiritildi. Reuterning talabiga binoan, ayollar teng ish uchun teng haq olishdi: soatiga 75 sent. Yig'ish chizig'ining tezligi sekinlashdi va kompaniya ishchini kasaba uyushmasiga kirgani uchun ishdan bo'shata olmadi. UAW Local 174-ga a'zolik, ish tashlashdan oldin 200 kishidan, keyingi yil ichida 35000 ga kengaytirildi.^[60]

General Motors

Detroytdagi 696-sonli davlatlararo uyushma 1970 yilda sodir bo'lgan aviahalokatdan keyin Uolter P. Reuter Freeway deb nomlangan

1936 yilda, General Motors (GM) dunyodagi eng yirik korporatsiya edi va ko'plab zavodlarni o'z ichiga olgan Flint, Michigan, Detroytdan taxminan 60 mil shimolda. Reuterning ukasi Roy allaqachon Flintda strategiya rejalarini tuzgan va ishchilarni kasaba uyushma huquqlarini tan olguncha avtokonsernni o'chirib qo'yishni tashkil qilgan. Ish tashlash 1936 yil 31 dekabrda Yangi yil arafasida ishchilar zavodlarda o'tirib, tark etishni istamagan paytdan boshlandi. General Motors bunga javoban zavoddagi issiqlikni o'chirdi.

Flint hujumchilari bilan birdamlikda Reuther Detroytning Flitvud zavodida ish tashlash o'tkazdi, u erda GM-ning hashamatli avtomobili Cadillac uchun tanalar ishlab chiqarilgan edi. Oakland, Kaliforniya, Pontiak, Michigan va Missuri shtatining Sent-Luis shaharlarida ham qo'llab-quvvatlash ish tashlashlari o'tkazildi. Filtrda o'tirgan hujumchilarni qo'llab-quvvatlash uchun mamlakat bo'ylab avtoulovchilar harakat qilishdi.^[61]

Flintga qaytib, politsiya ishchilarni "Buqalar yugurishi jangi" deb nom olgan zavoddan majburan chiqarib yuborishga urindi. Yuzdan ziyod politsiyachilar piketlarga ko'zdan yosh oqizuvchi gaz va o'q bilan hujum qilishdi, o'n uch ishchini o'qotar jarohatlar bilan kasalxonaga jo'natishdi. Viktor ovozli avtomashinani boshqarib, ishchilarni qarshi kurashishga da'vat etdi, ular buni 16 daraja Farengeyt qish oqshomida zavod tomidan eshkak eshish eshkaklarini militsiya tomonga o't o'chirish shlanglari bilan burishdi. Viktor va Xotin-qizlar brigadasi etakchisi Genora Jonson ovozli mashinada navbatma-navbat ishchilarni o'z o'rnida turishga undashdi.

Michigan gubernatori, Frank Merfi, ishchilarni o'simliklardan haydab chiqarishga emas, balki tinchlikni saqlashga chaqirgan Milliy Gvardiyaning 2000 a'zosini chaqirdi. Ajoyib harakatdan so'ng, ishchilar mamlakatdagi yagona zavodni boshqarish huquqiga ega bo'lishdi Chevrolet dvigatellar. Nihoyat, 44 kundan so'ng, General Motors ishchining kasaba uyushma huquqini tan olishga majbur bo'ldi va yangi tashkil etilgan BAW bilan birinchi jamoaviy bitimni imzoladi.^[62]

The Flintga o'tirish Amerika sanoat ittifoqchiligining Leksington va Vodiy Forji nomi bilan mashhur bo'ldi. Roy shunday deb esladi: "O'g'il bolalar o'simliklardan chiqqanida, men bunday tunni hech qachon ko'rmaganman va bundan keyin ham ko'rmayman. Men uni mustaqillikni boshdan kechirayotgan mamlakatga o'xshataman, ish tashlash boshlanganidan beri oilalar birinchi marta birlashdilar, bolalar osilgan quvonch va baxt ko'z yoshlari bilan dadaga. Bu ishchilar xayolida endi qo'rquv qolmagan insonparvarlik dengizidir. "^[63]

1950 yilda Reuther muzokaralar olib bordi va imzoladi Charli Uilson, General Motors bosh ijrochi direktori, Detroyt shartnomasi, tarixiy besh yillik mehnat shartnomasi, bu ish tashlashga yo'l qo'ymaslik majburiyati evaziga oddiy ishchilarga yaxshi ish haqi, sog'liqni saqlash va pensiyalarni taqdim etdi.^[64] O'sha paytda Fortune jurnali Detroyt shartnomasi "ishchini ajoyib darajada o'rta sinf jamiyatining o'rta sinf a'zosiga aylantirdi" deb yozgan edi.^[65]

Chrysler

Chrysler yosh BAA ro'yxatida keyingi o'rinni egalladi. 1937 yil mart oyida "Krisler" ning 60 ming ishchisi ish tashlashdi. Politsiya piketlar va ish tashlashchilarni qo'pollik bilan ish boshlaganida, Detroyt shahrining Kadillak maydonida 150 mingdan ziyod fuqarolar to'plandilar, u erda Reuter va boshqalar ularni norozilik sifatida olib borishdi. To'rt haftalik ish tashlashdan so'ng, Chrysler General Motors rahbariyatiga ergashdi va BAA bilan birinchi jamoaviy bitimni imzoladi.^[66]

Ford Motor Company

Genri Ford u hech qachon ishchilarining kasaba uyushmalariga yo'l qo'ymasligini aytgan edi. Uning asosiy ijrochisi edi Garri Bennet, Ford Motor Company kompaniyasining 3000 kishilik xavfsizlik bo'limini boshqargan, uning vakolati kasaba uyushma tarafdorlari alomatlarini ko'rsatgan har qanday ishchini qo'rqitish, kaltaklash va ishdan bo'shatish edi. 1932 yilda, ishchilar gigantdan chiqib ketganda Ford River Rouge majmuasi konveyerlarning tezlashishiga qarshi bo'lib, ularga Bennetning qurollangan odamlari hujum qilishdi va 5 ishchi otib o'ldirildi va yuzlab odamlar jarohat olishdi.^[67]

1937 yil 26-mayda yo'l o'tkazgich jangi, Uolter Reuter chapdan beshinchi, Richard Frankensten oltinchi chapdan

Chrysler imzolaganidan deyarli bir oy o'tgach, Reuther ruxsat oldi Dearborn shahri Gigantning to'rtinchi darvozasida jamoat mulkiga "Fordizm emas, ittifoqchilik" deb nomlangan risolalarni tarqatish Ford River Rouge majmuasi. U va boshqa uchta BAW rahbarlari zinapoyadan ko'prikka ko'tarilishganda, ularga Bennettning "ijrochilari" hujum qilib, ularni qattiq kaltakladilar.^[68]

Reuter bir zumda kamida o'nlab odamlarni o'rab oldi, erni yiqitdi, tepa va boshiga va tanasiga musht tushirdi, erga parallel ravishda 4 metrni oldi, so'ngra betonga bir necha bor urildi, so'ngra uch zinapoyani tashladi va tepib yubordi. 4-5 nafar erkak uni to'xtab turgan avtoulovlarda o'tirgan va tashqarida urib yuborganlarida, tramvay kasaba uyushma ayollari bilan varaqalarni tarqatish uchun kelguniga qadar va bezorilar ularga vahshiyona hujum qilishga e'tibor berishgan.^[69]

Matbuot fotosuratchilariga ham hujum uyushtirildi va ularning kameralari musodara qilindi, biroq bitta kamera konvertorga sezgir holda tashlandi va ertasi kuni "Yo'l o'tkazgich jangi, "milliy yangiliklar edi.

Uzoq muddatda kasaba uyushma tashkilotchilari tomonidan kaltaklanishi Genri Fordga ko'proq zarar etkazdi, chunki milliy kayfiyat unga qarshi chiqdi. Vaqt jurnali ushbu fotosuratlarni Genri Fordning pullik bezorilari tomonidan uyushma erkaklari va ayollari qanday qilib shafqatsizlarcha kaltaklangani tasvirlangan. Ford qasos oldi Vaqt, Hayotva Baxt barcha reklamalarni olib tashlash orqali jurnallar.^[70]

Bu yana to'rt yil davom etdi, ammo nihoyat, 1941 yilda Genri Ford BAA bilan birinchi shartnomasini imzoladi. Ko'p o'tmay, Genri Ford Uolter Reuterga shunday dedi: "Bu Garri Bennett BAAni ushbu zavodga kiritishda qilgan eng aqlli ishlaridan biri edi". Reuter so'radi: "Siz nima demoqchisiz?" Ford javob berdi: "Siz General Motors va Uoll-stritdagi odamlar bilan jang qilgansiz. Endi siz bu erdasiz va biz sizga kasaba uyushma do'konini va ulardan tashqarisida bo'lgan narsalardan ko'proq narsani berdik. Bu sizni bizning tarafimizga qo'yadi, shunday emasmi? Biz General Motors va Uoll-strit bilan birgalikda kurashishimiz mumkin, ha? "^[71]

1950-yillarda Reuter va Genri Ford II, Ford kompaniyasining bosh ijrochi direktori, Klivlenddagi zamonaviy dvigatellar ishlab chiqaradigan zavod bilan tanishdi. Ular zavod atrofida yurishganda Ford zamonaviy avtomatlashtirilgan mashinalarga ishora qilib: "Uolter, siz ushbu robotlarni kasaba uyi badallarini to'lashga qanday majburlaysiz?" Ruter yutqazmasdan, mashhur tarzda shunday javob berdi: "Genri, ularni qanday qilib sizning mashinalaringizni sotib olishga majburlayapsiz?"^[72]

"Kuniga 500 samolyot"

1940 yilda, o'rtalarida Ikkinchi jahon urushi, Qo'shma Shtatlar ittifoqchilarga qarshi urushda yordam berish uchun qiruvchi samolyotlar ishlab chiqarayotgan edi Gitler tajovuz. Ishlab chiqarish sust, etarli bo'lmagan va ittifoqchilar xavfsizligiga tahdid solayotgan edi. Qo'shimcha samolyotlar ishlab chiqarish uchun AQSh yangi ishlab chiqarish korxonalarini qurishni rejalashtirgan. Biroq, bu reja samolyotlarni ishlab chiqarishni boshlash uchun ikki yil davom etishi kerak edi. Ittifoqchilarda vaqtni tejashga vaqt yo'q edi. Bunga javoban Reuter "avtosanoatning foydalanilmayotgan quvvatini kuniga 500 ta samolyot ishlab chiqarishga qodir bo'lgan ulkan samolyot ishlab chiqarish blokiga aylantirishni" taklif qildi. Ishchilarning qo'llab-quvvatlashidan so'ng, u 1940 yilgi Rojdestvo arafasida "Reuter rejasi: kuniga 500 samolyot" ni e'lon qildi.^[73] U 1940 yil 28 dekabrda milliy radio murojaatida shunday dedi:

Londonda ular Amerikadan yordam so'rab ibodat qilgan metrolarda tiqilib qolishdi. Amerikada biz Gitler Angliyaga qarshi "hamma" hujumni yana ikki yilga kechiktirish uchun yangi zavodlar dvigatellari va samolyotlari chiqa boshlaguncha majburlashi kerakligi haqida ibodat qiladigan loyihalar ustida bosh qotirmoqdamiz. Bizning fikrimizcha, hozirgi samolyot zavodlarini ishlab chiqarish jadvallarini bezovta qilmasdan, biz bo'sh turgan avtoulov quvvatidan foydalangan holda kuniga 500 ta samolyotni bitta jangovar modelga aylantirib to'ldiramiz. . . . Angliyaning janglari, ilgari aytilganidek, Etonning o'yin maydonlarida g'alaba qozongan. Detroytning konveyerlarida Amerikani yutib olish mumkin. Angliyaga samolyotlar bering, unga odamlarini berishga hojat qolmaydi.^[74]

Rejani olgandan bir hafta o'tib, 1940 yil 30-dekabrda Prezident Ruzvelt yozgan Uilyam S. Knudsen, raisi Urush ishlab chiqarish kengashi, "Ushbu (Reuther) dasturiga katta e'tibor berish maqsadga muvofiqdir."^[75] Uch kundan keyin 1941 yil 2-yanvarda Reuter Oq uyda Prezident Ruzvelt bilan uchrashdi va kuniga 500 ta samolyot rejasini amalga oshirish imkoniyatlarini muhokama qildi.^[76]

Reuter, prezident Duayt Eyzenxauer va boshqa mehnat rahbarlari bilan AFL-CIO binosining bag'ishlanish marosimida, 1956 yil 4 iyun.

General Motors, Ford va Chryslerlarning barchasi Reuther rejasiga qarshi chiqdilar, chunki ular hukumatdan urushdan so'ng ularga arzon narxlarda sotilishi mumkin bo'lgan yangi samolyot va tank zavodlarini qurishni xohlashdi.^[77] Shuningdek, ular mehnatning burunni ishlab chiqarishga yopishtirish jasoratiga ega ekanliklarini yoqtirmadilar, bu menejmentning o'ziga xos sohasi deb hisobladilar. Alfred P. Sloan, General Motors raisi, bu g'oyani masxara qilib, "avtomobil zavodidagi mashina va jihozlarning atigi 10-15 foizigina maxsus mudofaa materiallarini ishlab chiqarish uchun ishlatish mumkin" deb ta'kidladi.^[78]

Hujumdan keyin Pearl Harbor 1941 yil 7-dekabrda, Reuterning ko'plab takliflari amalga oshirildi. Detroytning avtomobil zavodlari ommaviy hajmda samolyotlar va tanklar ishlab chiqardi va ularning markazi sifatida tanildi Demokratiya Arsenal, bergan Ittifoqchilar urushda g'alaba qozonish uchun hal qiluvchi ustunlik. 1943 yilga kelib, Chrysler prezidenti, K. T. Keller, uning kompaniyasining 89% dastgohlarini urush davrida ishlab chiqarishga aylantirganligi haqida xabar bergan, Washington Post nashriyotining etakchisi, Fil Grem, demak, Reuter 89% haq edi.^[79] Urush oxirida, Baxt Jurnal shunday yozgan edi: "Reuter to'g'ri yo'lda edi. Vashingtonning foydasiz ishlarini olib borgan va o'tirgan ko'plab sanoatchilar bilan taqqoslaganda, qizil boshli mehnat lideri harakatning atom ruhini namoyon etdi. U hech qachon to'xtamadi."^[80] 1953 yilda, Prezident Eyzenxauer Reuterga yozgan maktubida, "Men oxirgi marta CIO konvensiyasida chiqish qilganimda, Ikkinchi Jahon urushidagi samolyotlar va tanklar, kemalar va qurollarni etkazib berishda ko'rsatgan ajoyib ishingiz uchun sizga minnatdorchilik bildirish uchun keldim. Siz o'z vazifangizni bajardingiz va buni yaxshi uddaladingiz . "^[81]

BAW prezidenti etib saylandi

1945 yilda urush tugaganidan so'ng, Reuther GMni ishchilarning ish haqini 30 foizga yangi mashinalarining narxini oshirmasdan ko'tarishni talab qilgan ish tashlashni boshlaganida, u boshqa turdagi mehnat lideri ekanligini isbotladi. Ishchilarning ish haqi Ikkinchi Jahon urushi paytida cheklangan edi va Reuter ularni ish haqini oshirishga intildi, ammo inflyatsiyaning kuchayishi hisobiga emas. Tarixiy jihatdan, ishchilar ish haqining ko'payishini yutganlarida, kompaniya o'z iste'molchilariga xarajatlarni etkazib berardi. GM ish haqini oshirishni rad etdi va 113 kunlik ish tashlashdan so'ng tomonlar soatiga o'n sakkiz yarim foizga ko'tarilishdi. Reuterning ushbu ish tashlashdagi jamoaviy kelishuvdagi jasoratli rahbariyati uni kasaba uyushmasining eng yuqori lavozimiga olib chiqdi.^[82]

Uolter Reyter 1949 yil oktyabrda Hindiston Bosh vaziri Javaharlal Neru bilan uchrashdi.

1946 yil 27 martda Reuter saylovlarda g'olib chiqdi va juda yaqin poygada BAA prezidenti bo'ldi va amaldagi BAW prezidentini mag'lub etdi. R. J. Tomas deyarli 9000 ovoz beruvchilarning atigi 124 ovozi bilan. BAWning yangi prezidenti "falsafasi keng jamoatchilik farovonligi uchun kurashish kerak bo'lgan ishchilar harakati" haqida o'z qarashlarini va'da qildi.^[83] Uning prezident lavozimidagi birinchi harakatlaridan biri, ilgari qora tanli boulerlarni chetlatgan Amerika Bowling Ligasini birlashtirish uchun kurashish edi. U ishchilar harakatini "ijtimoiy o'zgarishlarning vositasi" deb hisoblaydigan yangi turdagi rahbar edi.^[84]

Ish haqi

Garchi ancha kichik kasaba uyushmalarining prezidentlari uning maoshidan 3-4 baravar ko'proq maosh olayotgan bo'lsalar-da, Reuter har doim aloqada bo'lish va o'zi vakili bo'lgan BAW a'zolari bilan birdamlik ko'rsatish uchun maoshini past darajada ushlab turdi. U hech qachon yillik ish haqini 31000 dollardan oshirmagan. Muallif Devid Xolberstam yozadi: "Uning hayoti moddiy narsalarga bog'liq emas edi. Ittifoqning doimiy muvaffaqiyati etarli darajada mukofot edi".^[45]

Kommunizmni uyushgan mehnatdan haydash

Vashingtonda Eleanor Ruzvelt, Valter Reuter, Milton Eyzenxauer va Kubalik mahbuslar almashinuvi delegatsiyasi.

Reuterning saylovda g'alaba qozonganidan keyingi 18 oy o'tgach, BAA ichida kommunistlar tarafdorlari sifatida ayovsiz janglar boshlandi. R. J. Tomas BAA Ijroiya Kengashining uchdan ikki qismiga ega edi. Kuzatuvchilardan biri: "Komissiyalar Uolterga bolg'a va o'roqdan boshqa hamma narsani tashladilar", deb ta'kidladi.^[85] 1947 yil noyabr oyida BAAning navbatdagi milliy anjumanida bu safar Reuter saylovlarda katta g'alaba qozondi va kommunistlarning kasaba uyushmasi rahbariyatini ancha zaiflashtirdi. Hayot jurnalining xabar berishicha, Reuterning g'alabasi "Amerika ishchilar harakatidagi kommunistlar uchun hamma vaqtdagi eng katta muvaffaqiyatsizlik".^[86]

Sanoat tashkilotlari Kongressi Prezidenti (CIO)

Reuter 1952 yilda CIO ning prezidenti bo'lib, 1955 yilda AFL bilan birlashgunga qadar va 1968 yilda AFL-CIO ni tark etganidan so'ng, BAWning boshlig'i sifatida vafot etguniga qadar davom etdi. CIO prezidenti sifatida Reuter kommunistlardan ofitserlarni olib tashlashga intildi. - CIO tarkibidagi hukmron kasaba uyushmalari, etakchi Xubert Xamfri "CIO-ga kommunistik kirib borish mamlakatimizdagi barcha demokratik institutlarning omon qolish uchun to'g'ridan-to'g'ri tahdid edi. CIO ning Kommunistik partiya ustidan g'alaba qozonishi bizning millatimiz uchun muhim g'alaba edi." Bunga javoban, Trud, Sovet gazetasi Reutherni "xoin va shtrikebriker" va sevimlisi deb atagan AQSh savdo palatasi. The Respublika partiyasi Reuterni "Amerikadagi eng xavfli odam va kommunist" deb atagan.^[87] Kommunistlarni ishchi harakatidan chetlashtirishga qaramay, J. Edgar Guvver, Direktori Federal tergov byurosi Rossiyada ishlagani va kommunistlar va sotsialistlar bilan dastlabki uyushmalariga ega bo'lganligi uchun Reutherni kommunist deb tamg'alashdan to'xtamadi. Ikkinchi Jahon urushi paytida J. Edgar Guver Reuter va uning ukalari Viktor va Royni qamoqqa olish to'g'risida o'ylashdi.^[88]

Iltimosiga binoan 1959 yilda Amerika Qo'shma Shtatlari Davlat departamenti, Reuter Sovet Bosh vaziri bilan uchrashdi Nikita Xrushchev boshqa narsalar qatori kapitalizmga qarshi kommunizm, uyushgan mehnat va AQSh-Rossiya munosabatlarini muhokama qilish. Uchrashuv San-Frantsiskoda bo'lib o'tdi Mark Xopkins mehmonxonasi va birinchi sahifadagi xalqaro yangiliklar edi.^[89] Keyinchalik Xrushchev Prezident Kennedi bilan uchrashganda Vena sammiti 1961 yilda u Kennediga shunday dedi: "Biz Reuter singari odamlarni Rossiyada 1917 yilda osib qo'ydik".^[90]

Jamoa shartnomasi

Uolter Reyter Oval idorada prezident Truman bilan, 1952 yil

BAA prezidenti sifatida Reuter avtomobilsozlar uchun misli ko'rilmagan turmush darajasini oshirishni o'z ichiga olgan shartnomalar tuzdi. Bunday o'sishlarga ish unumdorligi o'sishi, turmush narxining oshishi, ishsizlarga qo'shimcha nafaqalar, erta nafaqaga chiqish imkoniyatlari va sog'liq va ijtimoiy ta'minot asosida yillik o'sish kiradi.^[91]

U "deb nomlangan strategiyani qo'llagannaqsh savdosi "ga qarshi Katta uch avtomobil ishlab chiqaruvchilari, General Motors, Ford Motor Company va Chrysler.^[92] U birinchi navbatda uning savdolashish maqsadini qabul qilgandek tuyulgan kompaniyani nishonga oladi. Agar ushbu maqsadli kompaniya imtiyozlardan voz kechgan bo'lsa, Reuther o'z zavodlarida ishlab chiqarishni to'xtatish uchun ish tashlash bilan tahdid qilar edi, faqat raqobatchilarining zavodlarida ishlab chiqarish operatsiyalari uzluksiz davom etishi mumkin edi. Natijada, maqsadli kompaniya Reuterning talablarini qabul qilib, raqobatchilarining sotuvlari va bozor ulushini yutib yuborishiga yo'l qo'ymaydi. Dastlabki kelishuvni imzolagandan so'ng, u boshqa avtomobil kompaniyalariga qarshi namuna sifatida foydalanib, agar ular ham dastlabki maqsadli kompaniya kelishgan shartlarga mos kelmasa, ular ish tashlashi bilan qo'rqitgan. Reuther avtoulov ishlab chiqaruvchilari o'rtasida raqobatni kuchaytirish, ishchi kuchi ta'sirini maksimal darajaga ko'tarish va qimmat ish tashlashlar chastotasini kamaytirish uchun odatiy savdolashuvni qo'lladi.^[92]

G'oyalar, faollik va siyosiy pozitsiyalar

Tinchlik korpusi

1950 yilda Reuther "Umumiy tinchlik hujumiga taklif" deb nomlangan maqolasida Qo'shma Shtatlar gumanitar va rivojlanish maqsadlarini bajarish uchun butun dunyoga yuboriladigan amerikalik yoshlarning ixtiyoriy agentligini tashkil etishni taklif qildi.^[93] Keyinchalik, 1950 yillar davomida Reuter quyidagi ma'ruzalarni qildi:

Men uzoq vaqtdan beri shuni aytayapmanki, dunyodagi boshqa yoshlar bilan birlashishga o'rgatilgan yosh amerikaliklar chet elga slaydlar qoidalari, darsliklar va tibbiy vositalar bilan yordam berishlari uchun chet elga jo'natilishlariga ishonaman. , kamroq yoshlarni qurol va qurol bilan jo'natish kerak bo'ladi.^[94][95]

1960 yil avgust oyida quyidagilarga amal qilgan 1960 yilgi Demokratik milliy konventsiya, Uolter Reuter Jon F. Kennediga Hyannisportdagi Kennedi qarorgohida bo'lib, Kennedining platformasi va bo'lajak ma'muriyatning kadrlar masalasini muhokama qilish uchun tashrif buyurdi.^[96] Aynan o'sha erda Reuter Kennedini Tinchlik Korpusiga aylanadigan ijro etuvchi agentlikni yaratishga majbur qildi.^[96] Reuter boshchiligida Birlashgan Avtoulov ishchilari o'sha yozda rivojlanayotgan mamlakatlarga yuboriladigan "yoshlar tinchlik korpusi" ni o'z ichiga olgan siyosat platformasini birlashtirgan edi.^[97] Keyinchalik, Reuterning da'vati bilan,^[98] Jon F. Kennedi bunday tashkilot g'oyasini 1960 yil 14 oktyabrda, tunda saylov kampaniyasida so'zlagan nutqida e'lon qildi Michigan universiteti.^[99]

Ozodlik uchun ibodat haj Vashingtonda^[101]BAAning 25 yilligi munosabati bilan King Reuterga maktub yozib, uni muvaffaqiyatlari bilan tabrikladi va quyidagilarni ta'kidladi:

Siz Amerikadagi hammadan ko'proq demokratik kasaba uyushma demokratiyasining yorqin ramzi sifatida ajralib turasiz. Sinovlar, sa'y-harakatlar va insonparvarlik maqsadlariga bo'lgan sadoqatingiz tufayli siz millionlab mehnatkash odamlar uchun hayotni mazmunli qildingiz. Qiyin daqiqalar va kuchli to'siqlar orqali siz "erga ezilgan haqiqat yana ko'tarilishini" bilib, ishongan narsangizga qat'iy turdingiz. Sizning so'zlaringizni eshitganimdek, insonning haqiqiy o'lchovi - bu qiyinchilik va tortishuvlarga duch keladigan paytlarda, u erishgan yagona tasalli - bu ichki ovozning jimgina pichirlashi, ular shunday abadiy haqiqat va ahamiyatli narsalar borligini aytadi. agar kerak bo'lsa, o'lishga arziydi. Siz ko'p yillar davomida qiyinchilik va tortishuvlarga duch kelishingiz mumkinligini namoyish qildingiz. Bir kuni butun Amerika sizning yutuqlaringizdan faxrlanadi va sizning ishingizni merosimizning yorqin dostonlaridan biri sifatida qayd etadi.^[102]

1930-yillarning boshlarida Reuter birinchi bo'lib hozirgi Ueyn shtati universitetida talabalik paytida irqchilikka qarshi chiqdi. Kollej bilan o'quvchilarga suzish havzasidan foydalanishga ruxsat berish to'g'risida kelishib olgan mahalliy mehmonxona, qora tanlilar suzishga ruxsat bermaganida, u piket tashkil qildi. Namoyish blokni o'rab oldi. Natijada, mehmonxona barcha talabalar uchun o'z hovuzini yopdi.^[103] Bilan 2013 yilgi intervyusida The New York Times, Prezident Barak Obama dedi,

"Fuqarolik huquqlarini keltirib chiqargan koalitsiya haqida o'ylaganingizda, irqiy tenglikka nafaqat xalqlar, balki ishchi odamlarning adolatli o'q otishiga ishonganlar. Bu erda Valter Reuther va BAA tushgan, chunki ular bu erga kelishgan. agar adolatli kelishuvga erisha olmayotgan ba'zi bir ishchilar bo'lsa, demak, bu ularning adolatli bitimni olish qobiliyatini pasaytiradi ".^[104]

Vashingtonda mart, 1963 yil

Official program of March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom

The Vashingtonda ish va erkinlik uchun mart bo'lib o'tdi Vashington, Kolumbiya on Wednesday, August 28, 1963. The protest sought to advocate for the civil and economic rights of Afroamerikaliklar. Bilan birga Katta olti and three white religious leaders, Reuther helped organize the march.^[114][29] Originally, the march was planned to take place outside of the Kapitoliy binosi. Reuther, however, persuaded the other organizers to move the march to the Linkoln yodgorligi. He believed the Lincoln Memorial would be less threatening to Congress and the occasion would be more appropriate underneath the gaze of Abraham Lincoln's statue. Qo'mita, xususan Rustin, Reuther 19000 dollarlik ovoz tizimi uchun to'lashi sharti bilan saytni ko'chirishga rozi bo'ldi, shunda hamma Milliy savdo markazi ma'ruzachilar va musiqachilarni eshitishi mumkin edi.^[115]

Reuther and the UAW financed bus transportation for 5,000 of its rank-and-file members, providing the largest single contingent from any organization.^[116] The UAW also paid for and brought thousands of signs for marchers to carry. Among other things, the signs read: "There Is No Halfway House on the Road to Freedom,"^[117] "Teng huquqlar va ish joylari HOZIR,"^[118] "UAW erkinlik martini qo'llab-quvvatlaydi"^[119] "Ozodlikda biz tug'ilamiz, erkinlikda yashashimiz kerak"^[120] va "Qul bo'lishimizdan oldin, biz qabrimizga ko'milamiz."^[121]

Reuther was the most prominent white organizer scheduled to speak. In his remarks, on the steps of the Linkoln yodgorligi, he urged Americans to pressure their politicians to act to address racial injustices. U aytdi:

American democracy is on trial in the eyes of the world… We cannot successfully preach democracy in the world unless we first practice democracy at home. Amerika demokratiyasi axloqiy ma'lumotlarga ega bo'lmaydi va zulm kuchlariga qarshi erkinlik kuchlarini boshqarishga tengsiz ham, loyiq ham bo'lmaydi, agar biz Amerika demokratiyasining olijanob va'dalari va uning xunuk amaliyoti o'rtasidagi axloqiy tafovutni bartaraf etish uchun dadil, ijobiy, etarli choralar ko'rmasak. fuqarolik huquqlari sohasi.^[122]

Ga binoan Irving Bluestone Reuter o'z so'zlarini aytayotganda platforma yonida turganida, ikki qora tanli ayolning gaplarini eshitdi. One asked, "Who is that white man?" The other replied, "Don't you know him? That's the white Martin Luther King."^[123]

After the march, the civil rights leaders met with President Kennedy at the White House to discuss civil rights legislation.^[124] During the meeting, Reuther described to Kennedy how he was framing the civil rights issue to business leaders in Detroit, saying, "Look, you can't escape the problem. And there are two ways of resolving it; either by reason or riots."^[125] Reuther continued, "Now the civil war that this is gonna trigger is not gonna be fought at Gettysburg. It's gonna to be fought in your backyard, in your plant, where your kids are growing up."^[126]

Kennedi va Jonson with organizers of the "March on Washington" at the White House on August 28, 1963

Selma voting rights movement and "Bloody Sunday," 1965

On March 9, 1965, two days after Qonli yakshanba, where civil rights marchers were beaten by state police at the Edmond Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, Reuther sent a telegram to President Johnson, reading in part:

Americans of all religious faiths, of all political persuasions, and from every section of our Nation are deeply shocked and outraged at the tragic events in Selma Ala., and they look to the Federal Government as the only possible source to protect and guarantee the exercise of constitutional rights, which is being denied and destroyed by the Dallas County law enforcement agents and the Alabama State troops under the direction of Governor George Wallace.

Under these circumstances, Mr President, I join in urging you to take immediate and appropriate steps including the use of Federal marshals and troops if necessary, so that the full exercise of constitutional rights including free assembly and free speech be fully protected.

Sunday's spectacle of tear gas and night sticks, whips, and electric cattle prods used against defenseless citizens demonstrating to secure their constitutional right to register and vote as American citizens was an outrage against all decency. This shameful brutality by law enforcing agents makes a mockery of Americans’ concepts of justice and provides effective ammunition to Communist propaganda and our enemies around the world who would weaken and destroy us.^[127]

Following the death of Unitarian Universalist minister Jeyms Rib, a memorial service was held at the Brown's Chapel AME Church 15 mart kuni.^[128] Among those who addressed the packed congregation were Reuther, King, and some clergymen.^[128] A picture of King, Reuther, Greek Orthodox Archbishop Iakovos and others in Selma for Jeeb's memorial service appeared on the cover of Life magazine on March 26, 1965.^[129] After the memorial service, upon getting permission from the courts, the leaders and attendees marched from the church to the Dallas County Courthouse in Selma.^[128]

Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers, 1965

In December 1965, Reuther visited Sezar Chaves and the striking grape growers in Delano, Kaliforniya. Two months earlier, Reuther's brother and colleague, Roy, had visited the striking farmworkers. Upon returning from his visit, Roy urged Walter to support Chavez.^[130] At that time, Chavez's struggle for workers' rights was little known to the American public, but Reuther's visit garnered national media attention, making it difficult for the growers to ignore the striking grape pickers. During the trip, Reuther marched with Chavez and his fellow strikers, carrying picket signs reading "Huelga." Reuther also spoke to packed union hall, declaring, "This is not your strike, this is our strike!" He pledged that the UAW would provide $7,500 per month to the Birlashgan fermer xo'jaliklari ishchilari ' strike fund for the duration of the strike.^[131]

Upon returning to Detroit, Reuther contacted Senator Robert F. Kennedi kim edi Senate Labor Committee, requesting that Kennedy visit Chavez in Delano to learn about and support the farmworkers. Kennedy obliged, ultimately becoming the most visible supporter of the farmworkers' movement.^[132] Reuther visited Chavez many times, including once during Chavez's hunger strike. During that visit, Reuther made a $50,000 donation to Chavez's struggle to which Chavez said, "Walter, you have given me great confidence." Reuther replied, "You will prevail for your cause is just."^[133] In honor of the Reuther brothers' early and sustained support, the United Farm Workers named a building at their Delano headquarters the "Roy Reuther Administration Building."^[134]

March Against Fear, 1966

Following the shooting of civil rights activist Jeyms Meredit, the first African-American to attend the segregated University of Mississippi, Reuther and his wife May traveled from Chicago to Jackson, Mississippi to march with King and his wife Coretta, among other civil rights activists.^[135] Reuther brought 10 buses full of union supporters.^[135]

Memphis sanitation strike, 1968

On April 8, four days after King's assassination, Reuther marched with Coretta Scott King and others in Memphis, Tennessee, in support of a peaceful resolution of the city's sanitation strike.^[136] In addition, Reuther donated $50,000 from the UAW to the striking sanitation workers, which was the largest financial contribution by any outside source.^[137]

Ekologizm

Reuther sought to build an environmental movement made up of all classes of society to address social, ecological, aesthetic, and resource-conservation issues.^[138] In 1965, the UAW organized a "United Action for Clean Water Conference" in Detroit, where Reuther called for the "beginning of a massive mobilization of citizens . . . of a popular crusade not only for clean water, but also for cleaning up the atmosphere, the highways, the junkyards and the slums and for creating a total living environment worthy of free men."^[139] In 1967, three years before the first Earth Day, Reuther established the Department of Conservation and Resource Development, later headed by Olga Madar, to combat pollution, including automobile emissions.^[140] In 1968, speaking at the annual conference of the Water Pollution Control Federation, Reuther stated: "If we continue to destroy our living environment by polluting our streams and poisoning our air . . . We may be the first civilization in the history of man that will have suffocated and been strangled in the waste of its material affluence—compounded by social indifference and social neglect."^[141] At the annual UAW convention in 1970 in Atlantic City, Reuther said: "Because industry has for so long polluted the environment of the plants in which we work and has now created an environmental crisis of catastrophic proportions in the communities in which we live, the UAW will insist on discussing the implications of this crisis at the bargaining table."^[142]

Yer kuni

Reuther made the first donation to support the first Earth Day in 1970 in the amount of $2,000.^[143] Under his leadership, the UAW also funded telephone capabilities for organizers to communicate and coordinate with each other from across the United States.^[144] The UAW also financed, printed, and mailed all of the literature and other materials for the first Earth Day and mobilized its membership to participate in the public demonstrations across the country.^[143] Ga binoan Denis Hayes, the chief national coordinator of the first Earth Day, “The UAW was by far the largest contributor to the first Earth Day" and "Without the UAW, the first Earth Day would have likely flopped!”^[143] Hayes further said, “Walter’s presence at our first press conference utterly changed the dynamics of the coverage—we had instant credibility.”^[145] Following Reuther's death less than one month after the first Earth Day, the organizers of Atrof-muhitga qarshi kurash, the key group that organized the first Earth Day, dedicated a book containing a collection of speeches from Earth Day to Reuther, saying “We would like to pay tribute to Walter Reuther, a friend and ally in the movement for peace, justice, and a livable environment. We admired his courage and his foresight, and we are deeply grateful for the help he gave us.”^[146]

Filibuster

In 1957, during a speech before the annual convention of the NAACP, Reuther coined the United States Senate "the graveyard of civil rights legislation," and called for the abolishment of the body's filibuster.^[147]

Bessie Hillman, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jacob Potofsky, and Walter Reuther in New York City, January 7, 1957.

On April 20, 1948, Reuther barely survived a double-barrel shotgun blast that ripped through his kitchen window as he was preparing a late evening snack. As the gunshot went off at 9:48 p.m. E.S.T.,^[149] Reuther happened to turn toward his wife, and was hit in his right arm instead of the chest and heart.^[150] Four slugs of the type used to kill large game had shattered his right arm into 150 pieces of bone. Another slug pierced his back and exited out his stomach. The assailant “fled in a bright red four-door Ford sedan, police said.”^[151] Reuther, who did not lose consciousness, cursed his attacker as he was initially being treated by his next-door-neighbor, a doctor, as he lay on the kitchen floor. “‘Those dirty sons of bitches!’ Reuther cried. ‘They have to shoot a man in the back. They won’t come out in the open and fight.’”^[149] As doctors fought to save his life, he became infected with malaria and hepatitis from blood transfusions. Through months of therapy, he regained partial use of his right arm, but for the rest of his life had to train himself to write and shake with his left hand.^[152] When Attorney General, Tom Klark, requested J. Edgar Guvver to get the FBI to investigate the shooting, Hoover refused, stating, "I'm not going to send in the FBI every time some nigger woman gets raped."^[44][153] The shooting was never solved.

Thirteen months after the attack, Reuther's brother Victor was almost killed by a similar shooting from a double-barrel shotgun. The blast traveled through his living room window and hit him in the face, throat, and chest. Victor's right eye had been shot out and had to be removed.^[154] Victor said, "The attack on me was a way of serving notice to Walter. 'We didn't get you yet, but we're still around.'"^[155] The shooting of Victor was also never solved.^[156][157]

In the wake of both shootings, Eleanor Ruzvelt wrote: "It seems unthinkable that the police have never been able to discover who shot Walter Reuther and because of that, in all probability, the same person perhaps has felt he could get away with shooting another brother. . . . [W]e have a right to protect men who are working in the interests of their fellow men."^[158]

Walter and May Reuther eternal flame at the UAW Black Lake Conference Center in northern Michigan.

On May 9, 1970, Walter Reuther, his wife May, architect Oscar Stonorov, Reuther's bodyguard William Wolfman, the pilot and co-pilot were killed when their chartered Learjet 23 crashed in flames at 9:33 p.m. Sharqiy vaqt. The plane, arriving from Detroit in rain and fog, was on final approach to Pellston mintaqaviy aeroporti yilda Pellston, Michigan, near the UAW's recreational and educational facility at Black Lake, Michigan.^[159][160] The Milliy transport xavfsizligi kengashi discovered that the plane's balandlik o'lchagich was missing parts, some incorrect parts were installed, and one of its parts had been installed upside down,^[161] leading some to speculate that Reuther may have been murdered.^[162] Reuther had been subjected earlier to two attempted assassinations.

Historian Michael Parenti wrote, “Reuther’s demise appears as part of a truncation of liberal and radical leadership that included the deaths of four national figures: President John Kennedy, Malcom X, Martin Luther King, and Senator Robert Kennedy.”^[163]

Janoza

Reuther's funeral was held on May 15, 1970, at Ford Auditorium in Detroit, Michigan.^[164] An estimated 3,400 people were in attendance.^[165] Boshqalar orasida, Koretta Skott King eulogized:

Walter Reuther was to black people, the most widely known and respected white labor leader in the nation. He was there when the storm clouds were thick. We remember him in Montgomery. He was in Birmingham. He marched with us in Selma, and Jackson, Mississippi and in Washington. ... Only yesterday, there he was again in Charleston, South Carolina, the leader of a million and a half workers giving personal support to a strike of only 400 black women. ... He was a big man, so of course he had enemies and detractors. He had the courage to be with the minority when it was right. He was a simple man in his personal life, a rare quality in these flamboyant times ... but if his ways were simple, his ideas were grand. He aroused the imagination of millions. ... He was fighting the fight of the whole world.^[166]

Shaxsiy hayot

Walter and May Reuther were married on March 13, 1936, after meeting on a streetcar in Detroit only six weeks earlier.^[167] They had two daughters, Linda born in 1942 and Elisabeth in 1947.

Reuther led a simple, austere lifestyle. He neither smoked nor drank alcohol because he felt it sapped a person's vitality. For his daily lunch in his office he had the same menu: a sandwich and a cup of tea. He was an early riser. Muallif Uilyam Manchester wrote that Reuther's associates saw him as a “true astsetik.”^[168]

To relax he liked to hike, fish and play tennis. His favorite music was German Lieder, Classical, Negro Spirituals and Union Songs. Although sometimes perceived as rigid with no sense of humor, Walter’s colleague and friend Irving Bluestone said: “That wasn't true at all. He was a very easy person to work with and be with. He had a good sense of humor and could laugh at himself. And occasionally, when he was excited enough, he would use profanity just like anyone else coming out of the shop.”^[169]

Reuther enjoyed being and working outdoors in nature. Whether building a fish ladder for the trout underneath their bridge or planting a Japanese Garden for May that she could view outside their bedroom window, he enjoyed and relaxed by working on outdoor projects on his Paint Creek property, located outside Rochester, Michigan. He and his daughter Lisa planted an dendrometum, including over 50 types of trees, at their Paint Creek home. He was an expert woodworker and built much of the furniture for their home with his own hands. After the assassination attempt in 1948, which shattered his arm in 150 pieces, he rehabilitated his arm by squeezing a hard rubber ball and pushing out the walls to build their Paint Creek home from what had been a one-room cottage. He remarked, “I got a good house and a good hand, all for the same money.”^[170]

May was Walter's sounding board and close advisor throughout his public life. May was a teacher and involved in organizing a teachers’ union. Early on she was making $60 a week of which she gave most to help organize auto workers into the fledgling UAW. She soon gave up her teaching career to become Walter's full-time secretary, earning $15 per week. She was active in many charities and programs to uplift the community.^[171] May marched side-by-side with Walter in the civil rights struggles in Selma and elsewhere. U mezbonlik qildi Eleanor Ruzvelt at their Paint Creek home.^[172] She also served as president of the PTA at their daughter's school.^[25] After the assassination attempt on Walter's life in 1948, May decided to spend most of her time at home trying to give their two daughters as normal a life as possible; although, the family had bodyguards and attack dogs living with them the rest of their lives.^[25]
