Memphis sanitation strike
Trabajo y organización laboral · Trabajo municipal · Justicia racial · Seguridad laboral
Black sanitation workers in Memphis organised a strike for safety, recognition, and dignity after workplace deaths. The slogan “I AM A MAN” connected civil rights and labour; this entry records a local struggle with national impact, not a total resolution of labour racism.
