The strikers were mainly immigrants and half were women. The Passaic textile strike, the first time that the Communist Party led a mass workers' struggle in the United States, captured the nation's imagination and came to symbolize the struggle of workers throughout the country when the labor movement as a whole was in decline during the conservative, pro-business 1920s. Although the strike was defeated, many of the methods and tactics of the Passaic strike presaged the struggles for industrial unions a decade later in the Great Depression. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47572982005911,"sku":"9781978809895","price":3757.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781978809895.webp?v=1774891636","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-red-thread-the-passaic-textile-strike-9781978809895","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
