Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved.
Delegates would be elected from each of the shops, to bring the workers' demands to a central strike committee. Speakers would have to be found to report the progress of the strike back to the workers, those speakers fluent in Yiddish, English, or Italian. A strike fund would have to be raised, an information bureau set up where strikers could register for relief, or for help with legal and personal problems.
