eBook
The Great Southwest Railroad Strike and free labor
2010
Overview
Focusing on a story largely untold until now, Theresa A. Case studies the \"Great Southwest Strike of 1886,\" which pitted entrepreneurial freedom against the freedom of employees to have a collective voice in their workplace. This series of local actions involved a historic labor agreement followed by the most massive sympathy strike the nation had ever seen. It attracted western railroaders across lines of race and skill, contributed to the rise and decline of the first mass industrial union in U.S. history (the Knights of Labor), and brought new levels of federal intervention in railway strikes.
