Rank and File [Haymarket Classics]
Description
In this oral history classic, Alice and Staughton Lynd chronicle the stories of more than two dozen working-class organizers who occupied factories, held sit-down strikes, walked out, picketed, and found other bold and innovative ways to fight for workers' rights.
Rank and File brings the militancy of these firebrand organizers to life, recounting how they challenged safety violations, management intimidation, and sexism and racism on the job; founded unions; and worked for broader social change.
