01: Ancient Strikes - Deir El Medina

Did you know the first recorded labor strike in history happened over 3,000 years ago in Ancient Egypt? Well now you do! In this introductory episode we talk about the Deir El Medina strikes, where artisans working on the tombs in the Valley of the Kings pushed back on not being paid on time...repeatedly. This one has everything from graffiti to grave robbing, tangents about pottery shards, and some good ol' rants (TM) about our lack of mandated sick leave in the U.S. Find Boot Biters - A Labor History Podcast online: Website and Transcripts: https://rss.com/podcasts/boot-biters/ You can also listen to the pod on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere you get your podcasts.

02: Ancient Strikes - Secessio Plebis and the Servile Wars

Plebeians in the Roman Republic weren't playing around! In this episode we cover the first Secessio Plebis when the citizens of Rome abandoned the city in a general strike to get what they wanted. We also talk about the Servile Wars: the series of armed rebellions of enslaved workers in Rome that had the army scrambling. From that city-wide walk out, to fire-breathing magicians, to Spartacus, there's a whole lot to unpack!

In part one of this two-part series, we deep-dive into W.E.B. Du Bois' book Black Reconstruction and explore his General Strike thesis, looking at how enslaved Black workers in the South engaged in intentional and effective resistance and withdrew their forced labor from the plantation economy, ultimately pushing the outcome of the Civil War and their own emancipation.

08: Lettuce, Cantaloupe, and Cotton, Oh My! - CA Migrant Farmworker Strikes in the Great Depression

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode describes graphic torture and discusses human rights abuses, including child death because of state neglect. I do give a heads up in episode before speaking about these topics, but wanted to caution upfront. In this episode, we learn about the successes and failures of a sampling of early strikes by migrant farmworkers in the Imperial Valley and the San Joaquin Valley in California, covering the 1928 Cantaloupe Strike, the 1930 Lettuce Strike and our main story: the absolutely insane 1933 San Joaquin Cotton Strike that devolved into open conflict between farmers and striking cotton pickers.

09: Oi, Strike the Sails! - The Origin of the Word Strike

We've talked about the first recorded work stoppage in history in our very first episode, but when did we actually start using the word strike and why? In this episode we bounce back to 1768 in Sunderland and London, where sailors and coal heavers were getting creative in their strikes to demand better pay.
