Description
Over the course of the 20th century, unionization and innovation totally reshaped the centuries-old maritime shipping industry. Beginning with a rich portrayal of life as a longshoreman in the early 1900s, this program chronicles organized labor's long-fought battles for respect and good wages-gains ultimately stripped of their meaning by the introduction of a whole new way of moving cargoes between land and sea: the container. The intertwined biographies of labor leader Harry Bridges and container inventor Malcolm McLean provide the framework for this dramatic chapter out of American industrial history.
