2-22-16 Fighting for a Floor in 2:00
http://laborhistoryin2.podbean.com/e/february-22-2016-fighting-for-a-floor/
February 22, 2016
On this day in Labor History the year was 1860. That was the day that the shoemakers of Linn, Massachusetts walked out on strike.
The shoemakers were very concerned over how technology was changing their work. Shoemaking had long been considered a skilled craft.
2:00 minute audio at link.
