About: 1969–1970 General Electric strike

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The 1969–1970 General Electric strike was a nationwide labor dispute between General Electric and its workers as represented by the independent United Electrical Workers (UE) and the AFL–CIO affiliated International Union of Electrical Workers (IUE). Involving 164,000 workers on average, it was by far the largest and most impactful strike in 1969 in terms of the number of days lost. It began on October 27, 1969, and was won by the workers after 102 days on the picket line. The strike brought together the two rival unions in the most meaningful way since UE was expelled from the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in 1949.
