They conclude that the postwar demise of thisvital alliance constituted a lost opportunity for the civil rightsmovement that followed the war. Other scholars, however,have portrayed organized labor as defending all along therelatively privileged position of White workers relative toAfrican American workers. Clearly, these two perspectives arenot easily reconcilable, but the historical reality is not reducible to one or the other.
Unions faced a choice between either maintaining theprewar status quo or promoting a more inclusive approachthat sought for all members the right to participate in the internal affairs of unions, access o skilied and high-paying positions within the occupational hierarchy, and protectionagainst management s arbitrary authority in the workplace. While union representatives often voiced thisInclusive ideal, in practice unions far more often favoredentrenched interests. The accelerating development of the civil rights movement following the Second World Warexacerbated the unions dilemma, forcing trade unionists toconfront contradictions in their own practices.

O Trade unions were weakened during the Second WorldWar by their failure to establish a productive relationshipwith the African American community.
O Trade unions and the African American community forgeda lasting relationship after the Second World War based ontheir wartime alliance
