Abstract

Rossner and other members of the Amalgamated Clothing Textile Workers Union (ACTWU) discuss the meaning that the textile workers' strike of 1934 has for them, how that strike colors perception unions in the 1990s, life in the mill village, and what can be done to change perceptions of unions in the South.
