Credit to Richard Myers

[edit]

Much of the base content/writing comes from IWW philosophy and tactics: Colorado Coal Strike (A Case Study)

All credit due to the late Richard Myers, who had explicitly released both their research papers and Wikipedia writing to commons & use by others.

Most changes from me come in the form of adding the specific dates, additions of pictures that have now expired into public domain and editing, trimming to make it more generally applicable to a standalone page, and about 13 new sources. But I can not take credit for most of the writing. Further additions and descriptions of the events are intended for the article.

NPOV?

[edit]

As much as I appreciate the pro-worker tone, it seems passages like

But the IWW, always the champion of the immigrant and the ethnic worker, had readily overcome such challenges as early as the 1912 Lawrence Textile Strike. 'Docile' immigrant workers may have been a boon to industry, but invariably, such workers were ruthlessly exploited. In the mines, yesterday's perplexed new arrival often became today's militant unionist.

are a bit much wrt WP:NPOV, no? 46.120.20.40 (talk) 00:35, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
