Peter J. Rachleff's "Hard-Pressed In The Heartland : The Hormel Strike And The Future Of The Labor Movement": Analysis
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Peter J. Rachleff's Hard-Pressed in the Heartland : The Hormel Strike and the Future of the Labor Movement addresses concerns that have been brewing since much of organized labor became a shrinking island in the sea of the U.S. workforce. The 1980s saw a significant change in the manner by which American businesses sought to fill labor positions, with many of them closing down their U.S.-based factories and relocating to Third World countries where the cost of labor is far below the demands of American labor workers. This sudden outflow of jobs caught the labor union off guard and in dire straits; as such, union support began to wane with the serious decline of its power. The internal struggles that existed at Hormel became too much for either side to resolve, ultimately leading to a strike that many believe change the impact of union solidarity forever.
