	Meany, Reuther and The 1964 Civil Rights Act
		Reuther could have informed minority workers and women that the UAW welcomed the new law and that the union would file Title VII complaints against employers on their behalf with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
		For Reuther and the other UAW leaders, fls in the union had always been a "troublesome presence," but after a new fl militancy emerged in the UAW as in the rest of society in the 1960s, Reuther found that the bureaucratic power he had used in the pas to control fl discontent no longer worked.
		For Reuther, the need to control movements of fl workers was essential to prevent fls from becoming an independent political force within the UAW and to insure that they engaged only in "acceptable" activity that would not unduly disturb whites in Reuther's support base.
