    Communist movement, I do not think it was a socialist movement.

    I think most or all of them were not communist, just the leadership or the organizer that gets them together.

    Communists were a part of union culture since the bigging, the Red Scare removed most of them, then the unions became less effective.

    This is to the best of my knowledge.

      Unions became less effective when union rights were attacked by Republicans, manufacturing declined in relative employment, and workers were more exposed to international competition.
