Flyer: Reunión General de Huelguistas/Strikers’ Meeting


The flyer below announces a meeting of the strikers from both the Richard Shaw, Inc. and Watsonville Canning for the purpose of electing a Strikers’ Committee.  It is signed by representatives from both canneries.

Questions

  • How would the election of a strikers’ committee contribute to the success of their strike? 
  • Why would they insist that the meeting be attended only by striking workers?
