"Harry
Bridges Confronts the Police." San Francisco
General Strike, 1934. 17 Jan 2002. <http://bss.sfsu.edu/tygiel/Hist427/1930sphotos/sfgeneralstrike.htm>
This site includes some of the images from the San
Francisco General Strike, which allows the viewer
to get a closer look as to what actually happened
in 1934 instead of simply reading about what happened.
On it are several images of what the situation looked
like, and what was happening. This site can be considered
valid as some of the content was in fact pulled
from the ILWU, which as a union themselves in the
area can give an actual picture from their history.

Unions During the Great Depression and the New Deal."

2000. 17 Jan 2002.
<http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/ndlpedu/fetures/timeline/depwwii/unions/unions.html>
This page is worthwhile to look at as it provides
informative and specific information about the growth
of labor unions during the Great Depression. It
also has information that lead me to find more information
at other sites. This particular site was made as
a part as a part of The American Memory society
is part the government, so I believe that this information
would be correct and historically accurate.

about the U.A.W. and their strike that helped other
unions get started. It also gives facts that le

San Francisco general strike, and the members of
people who were involved in it. It told of what
happened in the strike, and what people though they

valid as it was published under the California Historical
Society, and thus can be said to be historically
accurate.

the San Francisco General Strike, and thus has all
that needs to be known about this event. It included
a basic overview, and then links to other sites
to add more insightful information. This site can
be considered valid as it is run under the Holt
Labor Library, who can be trusted for labor and
work related information.

is a Union?" IWW. 2002.17 Jan 2002.
<http://www.geocities.com/the_third_eye_website/resources/what_is_a_union.htm>
This page provided a look into what unions actually
do, and what they are able to do. It told of the
powers unions have, and gives a general overview
as to what a boss could do if unions were not present.
This site should be considered valid since the content
for it came directly from the IWW's website, who
is a respected union of people. This allows for
an appropriate depiction of what a union is, and
what they can do.

Are We." U.A.W. 17 Jan 2002. <http://www.uaw.org/about/uawmembership.html>

information from the point of view one of the unions.
It tells their story from a union's point of view
and is truly involved in the process of creating
history. This site is valid because of the fact
that is published by an actual union who has been
around for many years and knows what they are talking
about.
Dana,
Jackie. "Without a Living Wage, Prosperity
Is Nothing but Fools' Gold." The Working Stiff
Journal. March 2000. 17 Jan 2002. <http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~rjensen/vol3no2/livingwage.htm>
This site is about the living wage for people, and
included in it some talk about the National Industry
Recovery Act which relates to the growth of the
unions. This site should be visited because it gives
good facts on this, as well as the topic related
to it. This site should be considered valid as it
is a reprint from a magazine that specializes in
labor information, and thus knows what they are
talking about when it comes to facts.
Kangas,
Steve. "Timelines of the Great Depression."
Steve Kangas' Web Page. 17 Jan 2002. <http://www.korpios.org/resurgent/Timeline.htm>
This page should be viewed for its detailed and
thorough facts it gives overall about the Great
Depression. It gives unemployment statistics through
the years of the Great Depression, and many other
facts that give an accurate view of that period
in time. This site can be considered valid because
the person who wrote it was known on the internet,
and whose work is now being hosted by others since
he has since passed on. That these people want his
work to be seen shows that it was respected by many.

History 178. 2000. 17 Jan 2002. <http://history.acusd.edu/gen/classes/social/depression.html>
This site is useful to look as it included an overview
of the Great Depression that was actually used as
a part of a class to teach the Great Depression.
This sheet ran over what the Great Depression was
about in several points and told what you needed
to know about Organized Labor and other aspects
of the time. This site can be considered valid,
as it was used in an actual class environment, and
is hosted at an .edu domain.
Schwartz,
Alvin. The Unions: What They Are, How They Came
to Be, How They Affect Each of Us. New York:
The Viking Press. 1972.
This
book is worthwhile to look at, as it basically covers
every aspect of Unions from their time of conception
until the time of the books publishing in 1972.
As it covers the different aspects of Unions it
also brings in different facts about how the Unions
are set up and different events that Unions brought
about. This book can be considered valid from the
point that all the research for this book had to
be collected, and Alvin Schwartz did all this to
write the book. He has a degree in journalism he
got when he was going to college, and was a newspaper
reporter for awhile, showing that he clearly knows
how to tell a story using facts that he has found.
Seldes,
George. "George Seldes on San Francisco's Press
and the 1934 General Strike." Brasscheck. 17
Jan 2002. <http://www.brasscheck.com/1934.html>

a lot of information about the San Francisco long
shore men strike and the details of why and what
were the main forces that made it be what it was.
This site can be considered valid, as it was created
by a person who knows what they are talking about
and is able to analyze the information he has at
his fingertips to give a deeper meaning to the events
that took place.
Wiles,
David. "The Context for Worker Unions."
David Wiles' Web Page. 17 Jan 2002. <http://www.albany.edu/~dkw42/s2_unions.html>
This page should be looked at because it provides
a large amount of information about the workers
unions and the different points during the Great
Depression when it began to rise. This page should
be considered valid as it is a part of an education
webpage, and looks to have been used for a class.
The following images were from the American Library,
which I used to find images of many different scenes
through the depression. This site is very worthwhile
to visit, as it allows for viewers to look at images
taken by actual photographers of the time, and look
at pictures from chronological views of when the
picture was taken, including other images that were
on the same roll of film. This site can be considered
valid, as it is a well known website by many in
education, and is hosted under a government domain
by the Library of Congress.
