VL is about Work (A front company for the Church)

[Terrance]

The loosening of ties between the Party and the trade unionists, and
particularly the elimination of the Party caucuses in the unions, ended
what little effort had been expended in the CIO unions to convert then
rank and file to Communism and to seriously recruit members. And, a good
percentage of the trade union rank and file were Catholic. In the big
three industrials (UAW, UE, USW) more than half the workers were
Catholic. While Catholics were stiff trade unionists, New Deal
supporters, they were socially and culturally conservative. Ironically,
this also strengthened the Communist leadership because Catholics were
more often than not only interested in bread and butter issues,
believing that politics were a person's private affair and that
leadership should be assessed on how they delivered on economic issues.
