Born Bruce Duncan Phillips on May 15, 1935 in Cleveland, Ohio, he was
the son of labor organizers. Whether through this early influence or
an early life that was not always tranquil or easy, by his twenties
Phillips demonstrated a lifelong concern with the living conditions
of working people. He was a proud member of the Industrial Workers of
the World, popularly known as "the Wobblies," an organizational
artifact of early twentieth-century labor struggles that has seen renewed
interest and growth in membership in the last decade, not in small part
due to his efforts to popularize it.
