Scope and Content

Hoover Dam Strikers' Reunion, 1965 MS 15 Hoover Dam Strikers' Reunion, 1965 On July 12, 1935 265 carpenters and 70 steelworkers walked off the Hoover Dam construction job when Six Companies changed the day-shift schedule requiring workers to report a half hour earlier than they had before. It was the last labor controversy on the project and it failed—workers returned to the job on July 26. In 1965 workers who had participated in the walkout thirty years earlier held a reunion at the Swanky Club restaurant in Henderson. The material in this collection includes news clippings announcing the reunion and a place mat autographed by those who attended. For detail on the 1935 labor walkout, refer to Hoover Dam: An American Adventure by Joe Stevens [Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press, 1988], pp. 237-41. * * *
