Half a million American steelworkers laboured twelve-hour days, often seven days a week, with no voice in their conditions. Foster, who led the organizing drive, tells how the unions built a campaign through the mills, how the 1919 strike against U.S. Steel unfolded, and how police, courts and company power broke it, with sworn statements from strikers along the way.
A vivid first-hand record of a defining labour battle, written by the man who later led the American Communist Party. Download the free EPUB.
