This is an unabridged audiobook-style reading of William Z. Foster's 1936 pamphlet 'Organizing Methods in the Steel Industry,' the first known how-to guide for organizers. In the years following the violently-busted 1919 steel strike, of which Foster had been a lead organizer, steel organizing in the USA had ground to a halt. After the signing of the National Labor Relations Act by President Roosevelt, a new generation of organizers were ready to give it another go and Foster shared what he had learned through the previous failed drive, carefully politicizing the courses of action that would be required in order to achieve union militancy.
