“The chief signifi cance of the comprehensive systems of unemployment compensation that have been adopted in all Western countries, however, is that they operate in a labor market dominated by the coercive action of unions and that they have been designed under strong union influence with the aim of assisting the unions in their wage policies. A system in which a worker is regarded as unable to fi nd employment and therefore is entitled to benefit because the workers in the fi rm or industry in which he seeks employment are on strike necessarily becomes a major support of union wage pressure. Such a system, which relieves the unions of the responsibility for the unemployment that their policies create and which places on the state the burden not merely of maintaining but of keeping content those who are kept out of jobs by them, can in the long run only make the employment problem more acute.”

“The workers stayed in the plant instead of walking out, and this had clear
advantages: they were directly blocking the use of strikebreakers; they
did not have to act through union officials but were in direct control
of the situation themselves; they did not have to walk outside in the
cold and rain, but had shelter; they were not isolated, as in their work,
or on the picket line; they were thousands under one roof, free to
talk to one another, to form a community of struggle. Louis Adamic,
a labor writer, describes one of the early sit-downs:
Sitting by their machines, cauldrons, boilers and work benches, they talked.
Some realized for the first time how important they were in the process of
rubber production. Twelve men had practically stopped the works! . . . Superintendents, foremen, and straw bosses were dashing about. . . . In less than
an hour the dispute was settled, full victory for the men.”
