I
have written several stories in the
JN about the contributions of Jews
to the labor movement in America.
In particular, in Michigan, many Jews
contributed to the success of the United
Automobile Workers (UAW), and some
members, like Irving Bluestone and Sam
Fishman, became national labor leaders.
So, because many Jews have sup-
ported labor, one might ask, “What has
the labor movement done for Jews?”
One answer to this question can be
found in the June 16, 1961, issue of the
JN, where you’ll find an advertisement
and story regarding a testimonial din-
ner for famous UAW President Walter
Reuther, citing him as “Labor Man of
the Decade,” as well as a photo with
members of the testimonial committee,
which included Rabbi Morris Adler.
While Reuther was clearly one of
the most powerful and influential
union leaders in American history,
Detroit’s Jewish community was honor-
ing Reuther for his work and that of
the UAW on behalf of Israel. Michael
Comay, Israel’s ambassador to the
United Nations at the time, came to
Detroit to present an
award from the State of
Israel to Reuther.
Beyond Reuther’s per-
sonal support for Israel
and his relationships
with labor and political
leaders there, the UAW
also purchased $100,000
in Israeli Bonds. A tidy
sum for 1961.
