1 dez 1903 ano - JMLA

Descrição:

Feb 11 In California growers have combined into the Western Agricultural Contracting Company (WACC). Japanese and Mexican beet-field laborers combine into the Japanese-Mexican Labor Association (JMLA) and accuse WACC of artificially suppressing wages. JMLA complains that WACC forces workers to pay double commissions and to buy at inflated prices at the company store.

Mar 23 In Oxnard, California, a strike by the Japanese-Mexican Labor Association ends after growers shoot into a crowd of strikers. One worker is killed and four injured. The growers will concede to most JMLA demands.

May 13 Samuel Gompers, founder of the American Federation of Labor, states that his union "will under no circumstance accept membership of any Chinese or Japanese." Denied membership in the American Federation of Labor, the Japanese-Mexican Labor Association will not survive. By 1910 it will have disappeared.
