Goldberg won fame as general counsel for the CIO and later the United Steelworkers. He suffered setbacks in that role, principally during the 1952 and 1959 steel strikes. But as a labor lawyer, he reaped political hay that gave a definite boost to his ambitions for public service. He played a major role in fighting Communist influences in CIO labor unions, in kicking the Teamsters out of the AFL-CIO, and in swinging a large part of organized labor behind the Presidential drive of Senator John F.

Anxious to support Republicanism's leading moderate voice, Whitney chipped in $1,200,000, took a stock option, finally decided to convert the loan to a controlling interest and see what he and his Wall Street troops could do.
