Hide Profile

Leonard Robert Sayles (b. 1926) has been Professor of Business Administration at Columbia University since 1956. The interviews in this collection represent the most intensive, nondirective explorations of manufacturing workers' relationships to their local unions and their families and jobs of the period. The interviews grew out of a foundation-sponsored (Grant Foundation) study of local unions directed by W.F. Whyte of Cornell University. Prof. Sayles worked with George Strauss.
