Tells the story of 15,000 wool workers who went on strike for more than a year, defying police violence and hunger. The Passaic textile strike, the first time that the Communist Party led a mass workers' struggle in the US, captured the nation's imagination and came to symbolize the struggle of workers throughout the country.
This book tells the story of 15,000 wool workers who went on strike for more than a year, defying police violence and hunger. The strikers were mainly immigrants and half were women. The Passaic textile strike, the first time that the Communist Party led a mass workers' struggle in the United States, captured the nation's imagination and came to symbolize the struggle of workers throughout the country when the labor movement as a whole was in decline during the conservative, pro-business 1920s. Although the strike was defeated, many of the methods and tactics of the Passaic strike presaged the struggles for industrial unions a decade later in the Great Depression.
