Up and down the road to a big anti-war movement

forces during the war. Who was going to strike? Rosie the Riveter, Norma Rae
and some zoot suiters?

I'm not denying that there was still labor agitation and protest, but of
what significance for the mainstream labor movement? The US had deadly race
riots in 1943, but a national commitment civil rights was a long way off. I
don't like history that is always looking for the 'inevitable'
interpretation of events. My main point was, many in labor sold out for
their own interests long before the war and the no-strike clause. The
inherent nationalism and conservatism of trade unionism in the US goes back
before this.
