While thousands of lumber and maritime workers fought for higher wages and decent conditions, employers unified to protect their interests, often through violent and corrupt means. They spied on unionists, expelled them from their own towns, vilified them in the press, and physically assaulted labor activists. But with deep roots in their communities, radical workers continued to meet in their halls and immigrant neighborhoods--and to influence the wider labor movement well into the 1930s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eRed Harbor\u003c\/i\u003e, Aaron Goings resurrects the forgotten history of lumber workers in a bastion of labor radicalism, examining the conflict as workers faced down an alliance of employers, police, and violent anti-radicals, including the Ku Klux Klan. But he goes beyond these clashes to illuminate the vital roles of families, immigrants, and working-class women in the labor movement, revealing how people fought not only for labor rights but also for the good of their communities. The Industrial Workers of the World (or Wobblies) in particular adopted views and tactics from socialist Finnish immigrants while authoring programs responsive to local needs and supported by the people--radical and otherwise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVivid and revealing, \u003ci\u003eRed Harbor\u003c\/i\u003e shines a light on lumber workers and the pursuit of justice in the Pacific Northwest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAaron Goings is professor of history at South Puget Sound Community College.
