Union played role in race relations By Kevin Walters, hattiesburgamerican.com
HERCULES: Life in a company town
Though the first union did bring about some changes for workers, it was branded by some as a 'sweetheart' union that was controlled by Hercules management.
Its credibility was further undercut when the union, which was designed to bring workers together, held separate meetings for its white and black members. The union's white members would meet first about union business, Boyd recalled, and the next night the union leaders took those decisions to the black workers at a separate meeting.------------------------------------------- posted 6:49 AM :: reference link ::
