  • Summary

    The great labor changes of the 1930s, in the wake of the Roosevelt administration inauguration in the spring of 1933, took two forms. The first was not law or regulation at all. Anything but that. It consisted of the emergence of stoppages of considerable dimension in cities like Minneapolis, Seattle, and San Francisco, where the longshore strike was to emerge in 1934 (in both Seattle and San Francisco there was the possibility of a general strike, idling workers in many industries). Ambitious initiatives were now undertaken by both general unions (the Teamsters), as well as industrial unions, nascent labor organizations whose militancy frequently outstripped their counterpart American Federation of Labor (AFL) craft affiliates.
