SUMMARY:Song of The Stubborn One Thousand: The Watsonville Canning Strike\, 1985 – 87
DESCRIPTION:Book reading by Peter Shapiro \nOn September 9\, 1985\, one thousand mainly Mexican women workers in Watsonville\, California\, the “frozen food capital of the world\,” were forced out on strike in an attempt by Watsonville Canning’s owner\, Mort Console\, to break their union. They returned to work eighteen months later. Not one had crossed the picket line. A moribund local union had been revitalized\, and Watsonville’s Latino majority emerged as a major force in local politics.\nAt a time when organized labor was in headlong retreat\, the Watsonville Canning strike was a dramatic show of the power of women workers\, whose struggle became a rallying point for the Chicano movement.\nApart from its sheer drama\, the strikers’ story illuminates the challenges facing a group of ordinary working people who waged a protracted and ultimately successful struggle against seemingly insurmountable odds.

SUMMARY:California in the Progressive Era
DESCRIPTION:With history lecturer John Holmes\, SFSU Professor Bill Issel and moderated by SFSU Professor Bob Cherney\nOne of the most tumultuous periods in San Francisco labor and working class history was the formation of the Union Labor Party (ULP) and the role of the Socialist Party in the early 20th century.\nSan Francisco was the first major city in the United States to have a labor mayor but later the mayor and the board of supervisors were removed in a financial scandal pushed and funded by major San Francisco capitalists who were angry that organized labor had political control of the city.\nThis panel will look at this history including the 1907 Carmen’s strike that cost the lives of 33 people. The long strike was broken when the company brought in armed company thugs who shot strikers and their supporters and injured many because of their inability to run the cars. On the 110th anniversary of this strike this panel will examine the lessons for today.
