This type of author is John Steinbeck's work in the novel "Suspicious Battle". It occurred in the 1930's when Franklin Derner Roosevelt took office as president. The story takes place in a small rural area in California called Torgas valley. The novels occurred in the Great Depression of the later years before the Second World War. The United States is still recovering from the collapse of most American industries during the Great Depression.

In The Dubious Battle of John Steinbecks there is a power struggle between a powerful owner and a weak worker. Owners are more authoritarian and worried, but when workers are pushed to the limit, they use the power to be striked. Since it invalidates their attack purpose, the picker can not fulfill the owner's request. On the other hand, the producer association can not give a picker as it thinks that it will sacrifice them and to regard them as weak. This stubbornness between the sides caused a long and fatal strike that could be avoided.

He was assigned to Mac, experienced organizer. When it was less than the idea of ​​workers paid to fruit producers, they became hunted together for fruit. Strikes are brewing, Mac and Jim have taken it with you and decided to lead their progress.

In Dubious Battle (1936). This can be said to be a transcendental force amongst the best strike novels ever (see Matewan of John Sayles after reading IDB). Jim, a beginner, gives authority to workers in a way like steel and instructs ways to manipulate them and cause actions. Jim became increasingly ruthless, and this book examines the steepest descent of power. Since the mid 1930's, Steinbeck has been deeply involved in collective action, and his square - "collective members" has the potential to destroy (angry thugs) or give relief (hunger through Route 66 "Okies", necessary bundle together)
