Often, they would picket.

You can never be sure what it will achieve. But scabs were only making the chance of a strike working more ineffective =)
The Gastonia strike of 1929 was a significant labor dispute involving textile workers in Gastonia, North Carolina, who were demanding better wages and working conditions. The strike was marked by violent confrontations and the involvement of the National Guard, highlighting the tensions between labor and management during the Great Depression. It drew national attention to the plight of textile workers and ultimately led to increased awareness and support for labor rights and union organization in the South. The strike's impact contributed to a broader movement for labor reform and unionization in the United States.
The 1912 labor strike, often referred to as the Lawrence Textile Strike, involved thousands of workers at the American Woolen Company in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Sparked by wage cuts and poor working conditions, the strike began on January 11, 1912, and saw workers, primarily immigrant women and children, demand better pay and hours. The strike drew national attention and support from various labor and social justice organizations, culminating in a successful resolution that improved labor conditions. It is remembered as a significant event in the labor movement and highlighted the struggles of industrial workers in the early 20th century.
In the movie "Newsies," a scab refers to a person who continues to work or crosses a picket line during a strike, undermining the efforts of the striking workers. In the context of the film, scabs are individuals who sell newspapers while the newsboys are on strike for better wages and working conditions, betraying their fellow workers' solidarity. This term highlights the tension between labor and management, emphasizing the struggles for fair treatment and rights in the workplace.

The recent strike at the factory was initiated by workers demanding better pay and working conditions. The strike lasted for several days before an agreement was reached between the workers and management.

No factory workers didn't go on strike. Veterans did, they wanted to get their bonus check early because they needed money during the great depression. They went on strike and protested for a while. Then there was a vote to see if they would get their bonus checks. They didn't get them early because voters declined it. Then Hoover sent someone to burn down the camp sight were they protested. People were surprised to see how the veterans were being treated. PS I HOPE THATHELPS!!!! :)
Factory workers had to face the huge dumps other workers made, since there was no bathrooms located in the the factories. So it often smelled pretty bad. Workers hated the awful smell, they went on "Duty strike" around 1875.
