http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/31484871

In 1946 Feeney Busarello went from York, Pennsylvania, to Reading to work with the Political Action Committee in George Medrick's district. He also organized the Liebernecks Company and Wyomissing Mills and became heavily involved in internal union conflicts. He left to go to Easton, Pennsylvania, where Steelworkers' locals were threatening to break away and join the American Federation of Labor. In this third interview, Mr. Busarello describes his activities with the Political Action Committee in Philadelphia where he went to live in 1950. He relates how he built up the Political Action Committee in that area. At the end of the interview Mr. Busarello reminisces about the David McDonald-I.W. Abel fight for election to the presidency of the Steelworkers Union. Feeney Busarello retired from the United Steelworkers of America in 1960. Eleven photographs, filed with the transcripts, are identified on the tape.
