Labor strike on the US West Coast

The 1916 West Coast waterfront strike was the first coast-wide strike of longshore workers on the West Coast of the United States. The strike was a major defeat for the International Longshoremen's Association, and its membership declined significantly over the next decade. Employers won control over hiring halls and started a campaign to drive out the union's remaining presence.
