The Great Strike at Nushagak Station, 1951: Institutional Gridlock

Jonathan Hughes

The Journal of Economic History, 1982, vol. 42, issue 1, 1-20

Abstract: In the summer of 1951 the Bering Sea fishermen's union strike against the Bristol Bay salmon packers signaled the end of old-time industrial labor relations there. The issues of the strike and its conduct offer a case study of deteriorating symbiosis in industrial relations, which is not untypical elsewhere in American industry. This paper concentrates on events in 1951 and 1952 at a remote cannery site on the Nushagak River as a partial microcosm of larger evolutionary consequences in American industry.
