Harry Bridges Champaign : University of Illinois Press,c2023 9780252044748 330 $a"The iconic leader of one of America's most powerful unions, Harry Bridges put an indelible stamp on the twentieth century labor movement. Robert Cherny's monumental biography tells the life story of the figure who built the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) into a labor powerhouse that still represents almost 30,000 workers. An Australian immigrant, Bridges worked the Pacific Coast docks. His militant unionism placed him at the center of the 1934 West Coast Waterfront Strike and spurred him to expand his organizing activities to warehouse laborers and Hawaiian sugar and pineapple workers. Cherny examines the overall effectiveness of Bridges as a union leader and the decisions and traits that made him effective. Cherny also details the price paid by Bridges as the US government repeatedly prosecuted him for his left-wing politics. Drawing on personal interviews with Bridges and years of exhaustive research, Harry Bridges places an extraordinary individual and the ILWU within the epic history of twentieth-century labor radicalism"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aWorking Class in American History 606 $aStevedores$xLabor unions$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01133303 606 $aLabor movement$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00990079 606 $aDebardeurs$xSyndicats$zE?tats-Unis 606 $aMouvement ouvrier$zE?tats-Unis 606 $aStevedores$xLabor unions$zUnited States 606 $aLabor movement$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$2fast 608 $aHistory. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aStevedores$xLabor unions. 615 7$aLabor movement. 615 6$aDebardeurs$xSyndicats 615 6$aMouvement ouvrier 615 0$aStevedores$xLabor unions 615 0$aLabor movement 676 $a331.88092 676 $aB 700 $aCherny$b Robert W$01720178 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910838267403321 996 $aHarry Bridges$94138378 997 $aUNINA
