DESCRIPTION:San Francisco General Strike: Principles, Philosophies, and 
 Applicability\nPresentation by Gifford Hartman and David Duckworth. \n 
 Launching from the historic General Strike of 1934, historians David 
 Duckworth and Gifford Hartman converse on the broader ramifications of this 
 moment in West Coast labor unity. Considering the scope and tactics of that 
 defining moment, examples of other significant strikes are examined and 
 contrasted, principles and philosophies are drawn out, and analysis of 
 effects assessed. Within a rich matrix of historical precedent, the 
 question is raised as to the applicability of the general strike in 
 today’s socio-economic world.\n\nLaborfest began in 1994 to commemorate 
 the 1934 general strike that made San Francisco a union town, and together 
 with the 1934 General Strikes in Minneapolis and Toledo, made possible in 
 1935, the passage of the Social Security and Unemployment Insurance Act, 
 and the legalizing of the right to organize labor unions with the Wagner 
 Act. See \nhttps://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/ssb/v66n1/v66n1p1.html
