S1E7 - The February Whirlwind Strike, or, the Dress Rehearsal
Episode Notes
We have finally arrived! The first strike of 1934!
This episode is technically the second part of what I wrote for episode 6, but to save you from a 50 minute episode, I split it in half. We discuss the Labor Boards, Local 574 organizers' maneuvering around conservative labor bureaucrats, their strategies for timing the strike, and then the 3-day coal yard strike itself. As the title implies, this was only a practice run for the next two strikes in May and July-August.
Also, watch out for the first of the newspaper episodes to come out soon!
