John J. Casey

John J. Casey was a beloved hero to countless American workers during the late 19th and early 20th century. Truly a titan of his time, he was a stalwart champion of the oppressed, a loyal American patriot and most importantly, an extraordinary human being.

 

In a career spanning four decades, with tireless effort he improved the lives of thousands of working people by permanently changing the equation between management and labor, bringing a new sense of fairness and dignity to those struggling to survive on the lowest rungs of the economic ladder.

 

This book highlights his path of public service in conscientious detail. While its clearly an academic treatise and not a work of dramatic literature, still the courageous spirit of the great man comes shining through every page.
