The strikers sought to make the companies retreat from decades of antiunion repression, abide by the newly enacted federal labor law, and recognize their union. For two months a grinding struggle unfolded, punctuated by bloody clashes in which police, company agents, and National Guardsmen ruthlessly beat and shot unionists. At least sixteen died and hundreds more were injured before the strike ended in failure. The violence and brutality of the Little Steel Strike became legendary. In many ways it was the last great strike in modern America. Traditionally the Little Steel Strike has been understood as a modest setback for steel workers, one that actually confirmed the potency of New Deal reforms and did little to impede the progress of the labor movement. However, The Last Great Strike tells a different story about the conflict and its significance for unions and labor rights. More than any other strike, it laid bare the contradictions of the industrial labor movement, the resilience of corporate power, and the limits of New Deal liberalism at a crucial time in American history.Little Steel Strike, U.S., 1937Iron and steel workersLabor unionsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryNew Deal, 1933-1939United StatesHistory1933-1945Electronic books.Little Steel Strike, U.S., 1937.Iron and steel workersLabor unionsHistoryNew Deal, 1933-1939.331.892/8691097309043White Ahmed1970-1047374MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460587203321The last great strike2474904UNINA01842nam 2200493I 450 991070377280332120150602153957.0(CKB)5470000002433991(OCoLC)910563195(EXLCZ)99547000000243399120150602j201412 ua 0engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierHigh current hollow cathode plasma plume measurements /Robert E.
