An employers' association known as the Citizens' Alliance kept labour organisations in check, at the same time as it cultivated opposition to radicalism in all forms. This all changed in 1934. The year saw three strikes, violent picket-line confrontations, and tens of thousands of workers protesting in the streets. Bryan D. Palmer tells the riveting story of how a handful of revolutionary Trotskyists, working in the largely non-union trucking sector, led the drive to organise the unorganised, to build one large industrial union. What emerges is a compelling narrative of class struggle, a reminder of what can be accomplished, even in the worst of circumstances, with a principled and far-seeing leadership. 410 0$aHistorical materialism book series ;$v53. 606 $aTruck Drivers' Strike, Minneapolis, Minn., 1934 606 $aTruck drivers$xLabor unions$zMinnesota$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aStrikes and lockouts$xTrucking$zMinnesota$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTruck Drivers' Strike, Minneapolis, Minn., 1934. 615 0$aTruck drivers$xLabor unions$xHistory 615 0$aStrikes and lockouts$xTrucking$xHistory 676 $a331.892/813883240977657909043 700 $aPalmer$b Bryan D$0848565 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452380503321 996 $aRevolutionary teamsters$92053103 997 $aUNINA
