Inhaltsangabe

In this long-out-of-print oral history classic, Alice and Staughton Lynd chronicle the stories of more than two dozen working-class organizers who occupied factories, held sit-down strikes, walked out, picketed, and found other bold and innovative ways to fight for workers’ rights.

Rank and File brings the militancy of these firebrand organizers to life whether it was in founding unions, challenging sexism and racism, safety violations, and management intimidation, or working for broader social changes.
