Transit Workers Union and much more

For my final paper I'd like to continue my research on the Transit Workers Union, particularly their activities in the 30s. I'd like to look at how other labor struggles--in Flint, Detroit and elsewhere--shaped their organizing. I'd then like to look at current labor struggles in New York (Sotheby's for example) and examine how they might also be unique to a moment in time, part of a broader movement. I'm not sure if this is too much to cover in one paper, but in this last paper I'd like to connect the goings-on of NYC to the rest of the country (and beyond). I think we are seeing a reawakening of class consciousness ight now from Wisconsin to Manhattan, and it is interesting to look at how the local struggles we witness are part of a bigger movement, and have been for quite some time.
