DESCRIPTION:Book Reading – Trotskyists on Trial\nBy Donna T. Haverty-Stacke\n The 
 1934 Minneapolis Teamster general strike coincided with the San Francisco 
 General Strike. After the Minneapolis strike, the government, the companies 
 and more conservative union officials sought to go after the leadership of 
 the Teamster Local 544 for organizing the strike and fighting against 
 corporate unionism. Donna T. Haverty-Stacke, who is associate professor at 
 Hunter College in New York, has written an important work of this trial and 
 period. Haverty-Stacke will discuss the lessons of this trial and how the 
 leadership was removed and replaced by a more compliant union that was 
 interested in working with the companies and government to blacklist the 
 leaders of the general strike.\n\nLaborfest began in 1993 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
