Talk:Sitdown strike

First public prediction of a sit-down strike?
A book about Lucy Parsons apparently states that in 1905 she predicted sit-down strikes:

In her 1905 speech at the Founding Convention of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), for example, Parsons predicted the sit-down actions of the `30s when she stated, "My conception of the strike of the future is not to strike and go out and starve but to strike and remain in and take possession of the necessary property of production."

This sounds like a worthwhile addition to the article, if someone can obtain a copy of the book to verify. Richard Myers (talk) 12:47, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
