off their leaders and workers, and deny funding/support which helped the steel companies defeat the workers in their struggle?

The unions would be stronger today if that backstabbing asshole had never been born. Very much like the Third Way Democrat of his time, whore for business interests, more concerned about lining his own pocket and hobnobbing with the greedy business owners of the time at the expense of the workers.

Interesting stories about it in Mother Jones Biography and the UE book "Them and Us" by James J. Matles.
