Lithopinion's sprightly new look should not have been a surprise; the New York local's dynamic president, Edward D. Swayduck, 52, has been breaking labor's rules for years. One of the most successful and least conformist of union leaders, Swayduck is a tireless advocate of a new philosophy for labor. He is all for automation, all against featherbedding. His union pours money into research on improvements in the lithographic processes, then prods laggard management into adopting them. As a result of increased productivity in its industry, the 9,000-man union local is not only...
