Did you know that opponents of the 1972 Mead wildcat strike unsuccessfully tried to " red-bait " the communist strikers (leader pictured)?
In 1972, a collective of predominantly black workers at the Mead Corporation packaging plant in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, waged a seven-week-long wildcat strike over racism, sexism, and unsafe working conditions. The striking workers claimed victory after Mead agreed to a settlement and conceded to some worker demands for better workplace safety and an end to discrimination at the plant. Originally, the black workers at the Mead plant had appealed to the Local 527 union for support.
