| Summary: | The writer discusses the Federation of Architects, Engineers, Chemists, and Technicians (FAECT), which was formed in the 1930s by a small but significant group of radical professional and technical workers. He argues that this predominantly Left-led labor union happened within the context of the emerging “new working class” of professional and technical workers. He explores FAECT's history and ultimate demise to provide insights into the prospects for organizing such workers today and to demonstrate the role they can perform in progressive social transformation. |
