Mobilizing Adolescent Workers' Support for an American Newspaper Strike: Results from a Case Study
研究1978年宾夕法尼亚州《时代领袖报》罢工中，12至18岁报纸投递员集体倒戈支持罢工者的动员机制，对理解青少年在劳工运动中的作用有参考价值。
This study examines the behaviour of newspaper carriers during a strike at the Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Times-Leader, a paper published by Capital Cities Communications, Inc. The strike began in October 1978 and continues to the present. The workers have managed to create a commercially viable newspaper, grabbing the larger part of the daily circulation in the region. An important component in the success of the strike was the defection in mass of the carriers from the company and their decision to work for the strikers. The vast majority of these carriers were between the ages of 12 and 18. Our purpose is to examine the dynamics of their mobilization on behalf of the strikers.
