About the Author
Summary:Mill operatives walked off their jobs at Atlanta's Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills complex in the spring of 1914, initiating a strike that involved ethnic confrontations, gender divisions, social and economic reforms, regional and sectional differences, and the textile industry's rendition of the "gospel of efficiency." In this richly documented account, Gary Fink explores the year-long strike that followed, using the reports of labor spies who were paid by management to gather information about striking employees and to disrupt union organizing activities.
