Was the strike successful or did they give in and go back to work?
After a lot of legal back and forth – including an injunction filed against the strikers by management – the strike ended in June with a minor pay increase.
A great little bit of history, and the last image by Mr. Morris is exquisite!
My brain is a sieve these (holi) days — but if I didn’t mention it before Ralph Morris was a photojournalist working in LA from the 1930s through the 1970s. Great photographer.
