Seattle Fishermen halibut strike of 1912

The Seattle Fishermen's halibut strike of 1912 took place the year after a decision to establish the Port of Seattle and before construction had begun. The strike, organised by the newly formed Deep Sea Fishermen's Union, lasted three months. The issues causing the strike were working conditions, wages, and regulation of catches and prices, and by the terms on which it was settled the strikers achieved some of their aims.
