[edit] Good Article
But I took out the sentence "It is believed that the resistance to minority recruitment led to many minority workers not joining unions." While the exclusion of blacks and other minority workers from unions may have once created a general opposition to unions in the African-American community, those days ended sixty years or more ago. I think that the particular problem in the construction trades has more to do with residual white racism, nepotism and territoriality (some trades are happy to be smaller so they have more jobs for fewer members) in the unions, rather than with lingering resentments on the part of black workers outside them. At any rate, the issue is complex enough that I thought this stray sentence coming at the end of the article only started problems; maybe someone who knows the field can deal with it in encyclopedic detailin some other article. 24.126.41.116 10:04, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC) aka User:Italo Svevo
