| Abstract | [Summary of the book containing this chapter:] Strikes have been part of American labor relations from colonial days to the present, reflecting the widespread class conflict that has run throughout the nation’s history. Against employers and their goons, against the police, the National Guard, local, state, and national officials, against racist vigilantes, against their union leaders, and against each other, American workers have walked off the job for higher wages, better benefits, bargaining rights, legislation, job control, and just plain dignity. At times, their actions have motivated groundbreaking legislation, defining new rights for all citizens; at other times they have led to loss of workers’ lives. This comprehensive encyclopedia is the first detailed collection of historical research on strikes in America. To provide the analytical tools for understanding strikes, the volume includes two types of essays—those focused on an industry or economic sector, and those focused on a theme. |
