Labor Unions
Throughout our history, labor unions have waged incredible battles against their managements to fight for better working conditions, recognition, better pay, more benefits, and just about anything one can imagine. ... Another labor struggle that ended in vain was the New York musician strike against technology in music in. ... Sit-in strikes were enormously popular and successful at the time, and the labor movement was booming. ... The public and other unions supported them. ... The Woolworth girls were most successful because they had the strongest support from other unions, a very important quality. ... Looking at these three strikes helped me to see that the labor movement was not always such the overwhelming success that I thought it was.
