Notes

Abstract: In the 1940s and 1950s employees at the University of Oklahoma Press enjoyed a unique position because of the university's "perception" of a union in the printing division. Cynthia Wolff traces the development, successes, and failures of the printers' ability to bargain collectively in a non-union campus setting.
