The Clifton-Morenci Strike: Labor Difficulty in Arizona, 1915-1916
ISBN: 9780816535293 / Angielski / Miękka / 94 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The strike that paralyzed the mining camps of Clifton and Morenci during 1915 16 and gained nationwide attention was one of the most remarkable that ever occurred in the West. During an era when physical violence, death, and property destruction were almost accepted elements of Western labor difficulties, this walkout was peaceful. With few exceptions, law and order continually predominated. This, then, is the seldom-seen side, a positive side, to a state's labor history.
Coming at a time when western labor was purging itself of radicalism and recharting its goals, the Clifton-Morenci... The strike that paralyzed the mining camps of Clifton and Morenci during 1915 16 and gained nationwide attention was one of the most remarkable that e...

ISBN: 9780875461359 / Angielski / Miękka / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. More than any other labor victory of the 1930s, the emergence of the Steel Workers' Organizing Committee symbolized the rise of organized labor to a position of power in the United States. Yet, as the contributors to this volume demonstrate, the unionization of the steel industry, and most notably the role of SWOC and Philip Murray in that process, has received far less attention than it deserves. Beginning with a discussion of why the unionization of steel has been relatively neglected by labor historians, the contributors to this volume analyze early organizing efforts in steel,...
