Despite Preponderance of TWUA Staff, Stevens Campaign Remained an IUD-Directed Effort Because of the Presence of Harold McIver
Scope and Content Note: After the Roanoke Rapids election was lost, Hoyman began to do more and more non-Stevens work. The Stevens campaign was pared down considerably in terms of staffing. “The fundamental conclusion of the union was that until the Labor Board and the courts could mount an effective response to show that there was a Labor Act and it had to be observed, the amount of activity on the campaign should be reduced.” From 1967 on, Hoyman was no longer directly involved in the Stevens campaign, although, as Southern Director, some of his staff was assigned to the campaign.
