The Strike of 1934

Strike in 1934 On May 9, 1934, an organized labor strike occurred in San Francisco. This strike will be a strike in the city. The International Dockers Association (ILA) announced that all harbor workers on the West Coast will strike until they get higher wages, union management recruitment halls, union membership as prerequisites for employing wage workers did. The strike in 1934 continued for three months and the maritime trade at the port of the western US from San Diego to Seattle was hindered.

And unusual. It contained several dramatic general strikes in 1934 and a series of extreme strikes in 1937. Furthermore, the percentage of strikes during this period is higher than the proportion required before or after the trade union or workplace organization (Wallace 1989: 13), but decreases after adoption of the Wagner Act (McCammon 1993, 1994). The New Deal labor law before 1937 was considered to be almost unenforceable by the labor-intensive paper supporters; therefore, unions could only succeed by organized promotion (eg Cohen 1993: 301ff).

Two maritime strikes occurred in the Pacific coast in the 1930s, the strike was carried out for 90 days in 1934, in 1936, and the intention of the National Labor Relations Commission, which was newly established with the government on 98 days of strike, It was tried to support the rights. In particular, the strike in 1934 eventually established a true alliance with the rights present in the waterfront, and their Hawaiian brothers did not lose their lessons. The victory of the West Coast inspired the new unionism species of Hawaii and sowed seeds. Harry Kamoku living in Hilo is one of the long shoremen from Hawaii who saw this way in Hawaii on the 34th west coast. He and other harbor workers in harbors such as Honolulu and Hilo started organizing their work, trying to recognize their union through a written contract, improving the state and increasing safety.

Prior to the strike of 1934, the dock staff on the west coast received discreet discounts in exchange for manual work for fractures. Regardless of the weight or danger of the cargo, the cargo is almost always manually dropped by the harbor workers. Workers pull large amounts of cargo, harbor employers appreciate and carve a rhythm of work at a phenomenal rate. . Despite hard working conditions, hoped that thousands of workers would be one of the fortunate 'dock mice' lined up in the dock every morning to recruit their boss to work the day. This casual employment system, known as "shaping", is tedious by dock workers, whose life basically depends on the daily wisdom of the shipping boss.
