“I got active in the union because the former union officials were negotiating concessionary contracts with the company [Hormel]. It meant concessions in every aspect of work. There was real speedup and there were many injuries. Young women got carpel tunnel syndrome and couldn’t pick up their kids anymore. People thirty, thirty-two years old, mean enough to eat nails couldn’t lift a ten pound box. We tried to approach the company to create a safe place to work. They said to us: If you don’t like it, there are plenty of others who will work under these conditions.”
1985. In 1916, the congressional Commission of Industrial Relations found that in labor disputes, the assumption was that “the entire machinery of the State should be put behind the strikebreakers.” Seventy years later, when Hormel workers struck the Austin, Minnesota plant, they had to contend with violent police assaults with mace, tear gas and dogs, injunctions limiting picketing, National Guard troops ushering strikebreakers into the plant and infiltrating union meetings, and the arrests of union leaders under false charges that were eventually overturned. The strikers were led by Jim Guyette, president of Local P-9, United Food and Commercial Workers. “I went to that meeting,” one striker remembered about the decision to strike. “I couldn’t believe Jim was asking us what we thought. But I found Jim didn’t make a move without coming to the rank-and-file, and say, ‘What do you want to do?’” It was an extraordinary case of long-lasting grass-roots solidarity. In the end, the strikers failed to achieve their objectives, but the struggle of Local P-9 signaled a renewal of union militancy.
