Interview: Questions Asked About the Strike

 This three page document, written by Mary Nevarez, includes a cover page and two typed pages of questions and answers with strike leader Gloria Betancourt (though not noted by Nevarez on the cover, someone has handwritten “Interview with Gloria Betancourt 12/16/86” at the top of the first page).  The questions relate to why the workers went on strike, what tactics they used, the strikers’ response to scab labor, and the impact the strike had on Betancourt.

Questions

  • What questions might you have asked Betancourt?
