The Waterfront Worker--complete collection 1932-1936

From 1932 to 1936, the Waterfront Worker served as the unofficial voice of the Pacific Coast International Longshoremen's Association (ILA)'s militant rank-and-file. With firebrand rhetoric and creative cartoons, the paper preached working-class cohesion, racial solidarity, and progressive politics. The Waterfront Worker was published in San Francisco and six editions were published in Seattle. The paper was not an offical ILA paper, but nevertheless provides insight into the struggles, sucesses, and attitudes of many radical rank and file members.
