From Mission to Microchip: A History of the California Labor Movement
Fred Glass
There is no better time than now to consider the labor history of
the Golden State. While other states face declining union enrollment
rates and the rollback of workers’ rights, California unions are
embracing working immigrants, and voters are protecting core worker
rights. What’s the difference? California has held an exceptional place
in the imagination of Americans and immigrants since the Gold Rush,
which saw the first of many waves of working people moving to the state
to find work. From Mission to Microchip unearths the hidden
stories of these people throughout California’s history. The difficult
task of the state’s labor movement has been to overcome perceived
barriers such as race, national origin, and language to unite newcomers
and natives in their shared interest. As chronicled in this
comprehensive history, workers have creatively used collective
bargaining, politics, strikes, and varied organizing strategies to find
common ground among California’s diverse communities and achieve a
measure of economic fairness and social justice. This is an
indispensible book for students and scholars of labor history and
history of the West, as well as labor activists and organizers.
