Background Information: "The Seattle General Strike of February 1919 was the first city-wide labor action in America to be proclaimed a "general strike." It led off a tumultuous era of post-World War I labor conflict that saw massive strikes shut down the nation's steel, coal, and meatpacking industries and threaten civil unrest in a dozen cities."
