STRIKEBREAKERS, c1916 - A Glimpse into the Turbulent Streets of New York City
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from 1916 takes us back in time to a moment of intense social unrest. Amidst a streetcar strike, we witness an extraordinary scene where strikebreakers and police officers stand side by side on the bustling streets of New York City. The image encapsulates the tension that permeated the air during this period. The photograph captures a snapshot of early 20th-century America, showcasing men clad in their work attire against an urban backdrop. These unidentified individuals play pivotal roles as scabs or strikebreakers - individuals who took up employment during strikes to keep essential services running despite opposition from striking workers. The presence of NYPD officers further emphasizes the gravity of the situation unfolding before our eyes. As they patrol alongside these strikebreakers, it becomes evident that maintaining law and order was no easy task during such labor disputes. Granger Art on Demand's meticulous preservation allows us to delve into history and explore significant moments like this one. This particular image serves as a reminder of how conflicts between labor unions and employers shaped American society at its core. As we gaze upon this powerful photograph, let us reflect on the struggles faced by those involved in this streetcar strike - both strikers fighting for their rights and those who chose to break ranks amidst societal pressures. It is through images like these that we gain insight into our past while contemplating progress made since then
