Conflict and Change : Minneapolis Truck Drivers Make a Dent in the New Deal

Class conflict erupted on Minneapolis streets in 1934 when workers in the city's trucking industry took direct actions to pressure politicians, national union leaders, and employers to recognize their right to organize and bargain collectively with employers. Reacting to New Deal policies and similar conflicts across the country, these strikers contributed to some of the most significant changes of the Great Depression. More than just a local study, this brief, engaging volume relates these strikes to the history of the labor militancy that emerged with industrialization in the United States, including the Homestead and Pullman strikes of the late 1800s. Schultz places the violence in Minneapolis in the context of the nation-wide social and economic turmoil of the Great Depression and the policies and politics of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal.
