I'm not so convinced that the blame can be laid so much on the A & M.
I think there was plenty of blame to go around and during the days of
"Red Robbo", I think the unions contributed much to BL's problems.
It's possible that a confrontational culture was built by A & M's
styles which later resulted in worse labor problems.
I haven't read Whisler's book and I tried and failed to discover what
his background is. He doesn't seem to have published anything else.
