DESCRIPTION:Play- Fight for 52¢ – Written and Performed by Howard Petrick – 70 
 min\n\nSan Francisco actor and writer Howard Petrick takes a look at the 
 1934 Minneapolis general strike through the eyes of one of its leaders, 
 V.R. Dunne. The Minneapolis Teamster General Strike was one of three 
 successful strikes that year that built the rise of industrial unionism and 
 labor rights. We learn Dunne’s story through his working class life in 
 the depths of the 1930’s depression, which led to his political 
 development. It includes the violence that striking workers faced at the 
 hands of police. He also describes how the use of a Women’s Auxiliary 
 enabled the striking workers to succeed. He discusses the importance of 
 cultural and worker solidarity, which was a critical part in the victory of 
 the general strike. Today, as millions of workers are being marginalized, 
 these lessons continue to be relevant. Howard Petrick, through his art, 
 makes them come alive. \nhttps://howardpetrick.com\n\nCLOSING PARTY will 
 follow performance.\n Bring a contribution of food, beverage for potluck, 
 or instrument for the open mic.\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
