The Power Sruggle in the Film, Matewan

The movie 's power shouted, Matewan movie Matewan did the operation of a small coal mine in West Virginia in the living 1920' s. This town is known as Stone Mountain and devoted to mining. All the residents of the town work for Shishan Coal Company. The company is the dominant power of the community and acts as a feudal lord. It has all the land, residential areas and restaurants. In this particular town, the residents monopolize the control of all resources to form a feudal economy, so there is no choice but to work for a coal company.

Because of the different political processes, the alliance of the movie Norma Rae can be connected more easily than Matewan's union. In Matwan, the feudal lord Shishan Coal Company has such powerful authority, and furthermore regulates the existence and execution of the law. They can call the property of a worker a company and even beat and kill some workers. Because they operate the political regime without any consequences. In Norma Rae, workers have more political rights. Ruben was able to propose a leaflet that would let workers join unions. In another example, Norma Rae asked if he could be fired for joining the union. Ruben cited several things she could do to promote the union without being fired. He explained that she could wear buttons on the shirt, distribute flyers, and freely take freedom.

Unlike Matewan films where coal miners work under feudalism, employees of O.P. Henry Mill work in a capitalist economy. The main difference between the two is that resident of Mattwan Town has no other choice of employment, Norma Rae's character enters the free labor market, becomes an active participant and can choose people who want to work It is that. Over the whole movie, Henryville has other forms of employment evidence. A higher level of education is needed to work in town and factory workers may have accepted it. For example, teachers and police. But there are other kinds of work in the town that do not need so much training. Some of these other work opportunities include working at motels like waiters, waitresses or bartenders or working in local restaurants or bars.

In the early 1920s, West Virginia coal miners and mining owners and their employed detectives clashed repeatedly in the West Virginia coal field war. The event "Matewan Massacre" was recorded in John Sayles' movie "Matewan". Violence in West Virginia continued for several years; this was the continuation of the initial struggle highlighted by Homestead and Haymarket events. Despite the best efforts of labor organizations and progressive leaders, the war between capital and labor has continued to increase since the 1930s.
