The Great Steel Strike And Its Lessons is a historical account of the 1919 steel strike in the United States, written by William Z. Foster, a prominent labor organizer and leader of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). The book documents the events leading up to the strike, including the harsh working conditions and low wages endured by steel workers. Foster also describes the tactics used by the strikers, such as picketing and organizing boycotts, as well as the violent clashes that occurred between strikers and law enforcement officials. Through his analysis of the strike, Foster argues that it was a turning point in labor relations in the United States, as it demonstrated the power of collective action and the need for stronger labor laws to protect workers' rights. He also discusses the role of the media in shaping public opinion about the strike and the way in which the government and big business worked together to suppress the labor movement. The Great Steel Strike And Its Lessons is an important historical document that sheds light on the struggles of working-class Americans and the fight for labor rights in the early 20th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of labor relations in the United States and the ongoing struggle for workers' rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
