We Are All Leaders: The Alternative Unionism of the Early 1930s Paperback - 1996

by Staughton Lynd (Editor); Contribution by Rosemary Feurer; Contribution by Janet Irons


First line

This essay tells the story of the St. Louis nutpickers' strike of May 1933 and the building of the nutpickers' union, the Food Workers Industrial Union, into a social movement in the strike's aftermath.

From the rear cover

'We Are All Leaders' describes a kind of union qualitatively different from the bureaucratic business unions that make up the AFL-CIO today. From African American nutpickers in St. Louis, chemical and rubber workers in Akron, textile workers in the South, and bootleg miners in Pennsylvania to tenant farmers in the Mississippi Delta, packinghouse and garment workers in Minnesota, seamen in San Francisco, and labor party campaigns throughout the country, workers in the 1930's were experimenting with community-based unionism.
