Part of Labor Unions
Date	June 1, 1916 – October 4, 1916 (107 years ago)

The 1916 West Coast waterfront strike was the first coast-wide strike of longshore workers on the Pacific Coast of the United States. The strike was a major defeat for the International Longshoremen's Association, and its membership declined significantly over the next decade. Employers won control over hiring halls and started a campaign to drive out the union's remaining presence.^[1]^[2]^[3]
