type: CreativeWork
description: The purpose of the study is to explore the attitudes of selected retail clothing employers and union leaders toward the unionization of the clerks in the retail clothing firms in Tuscaloosa. The study examines the changes in the social and economic conditions of Tuscaloosa that might influence the attitudes of the respondents. From this information a conclusion will be drawn concerning the feasibility of the unionization of the local retail clothing clerks. Some of the general questions that are analyzed are: How would the attitudes of union leaders affect a unionization attempt? How would the attitudes of employers influence a unionization attempt? What are the major discernible differences between these various attitudes? To what extent do the social and economic conditions in Tuscaloosa affect the possibility of a successful unionization attempt?
