Purchasing Power: Consumer Organizing, Gender, and the Seattle Labor Movement, 1919-1929

This book analyses consumer organising tactics and the decline of the Seattle labour movement in the 1920s. By examining the transformation of the movement after the famous Seattle General Strike of 1919, it shows that workers organised not only at the point of production, but through politicised consumption as well, employing boycotts, cooperatives, labor-owned businesses, and union label promotion.Frank, Dana is the author of 'Purchasing Power: Consumer Organizing, Gender, and the Seattle Labor Movement, 1919-1929', published 1994 under ISBN 9780521467148 and ISBN 0521467144.
