- Title
The Red Thread: The Passaic Textile Strike.
- Authors
Phelps, Christopher
- Abstract
Zumoff's brief conclusion casts the Passaic strike as a precursor of the industrial unionism of the 1930s with at least some relevance to immigrant workers in New Jersey today. Only one Communist was working then in Passaic's mills, but the millowners and conservative unionists alike charged that the Passaic strike was Communist-instigated. He focuses instead on demonstrating, convincingly, that the Passaic strike strategy emerged from the national Communist leadership, not Weisbord alone, contrary to Weisbord's later self-centered claims.
