In 1934, the labor movement in the United States was at a low ebb; the
Knights of Labor and Industrial Workers of the World had been smashed
earlier in the century, and the CIO had yet to make an appearance. But
that year, four major strikes occurred that had an impact on the labor
movement for years to come:

*

The Auto-Lite strike in Toledo, Ohio

*

The San Francisco general strike

*

The Minneapolis Teamsters strike

*

The textile workers strike

We'll review the history of these four strikes and discuss the lessons
they may hold for today's labor movement.
