Once Upon a Time in America, fairness mattered. Corporations and their employees actually worked as teams, with mutual respect, toward common goals. But somewhere along the way, things went terribly wrong. Obsession with the bottom line replaced fairness as the guiding principle. In order to maximize profits, wages were minimized. And everything changed. But why?
The WALS Foundation maintains a library and archives as a research and study center on the life, times, and thought of Wheeling’s native son, labor leader and human rights activist, Walter P. Reuther. The archive collects, preserves, digitizes and makes accessible, material related to the life and work of Reuther and to the history of organized labor and the working class in Wheeling and the Upper Ohio Valley region.
