Kelber, AFL-CIO Critic, Expelled from Union In Explicit Violation of CWA Constitution
Kelber is convinced that his illegal expulsion from the printers union is a vengeful response to his constructive criticism of the AFL-CIO leadership and its undemocratic practices. “I have a special feeling of loyalty for Typographical Union No. 6, which had an important influence on my life as a labor activist,” he said. Kelber wrote a book about Local 6’s struggles, “Union Printers and Controlled Automation,” published by The Free Press in 1967.
“After devoting 70 years to the labor movement as an educator, organizer, pamphleteer and journalist, I shall fight the vindictive efforts to deny me my union membership,” Kelber vows, “and I hope that union members who believe in the right of dissent will join me in this fight.”
