Nov 13,1933 - First modern sit-down strike by Hormel meatpackers in Austin, Minnesota ends on this date.
The anniversary of the first modern sit-down strike by Hormel meatpackers in Austin, Minnesota, is a significant date in labor history. The strike, which began on November 10, 1933, and ended on November 13, 1933, is considered a pivotal moment in the history of American labor relations. It was organized by the Independent Union of All Workers (IUAW) in response to poor working conditions and low wages at the Hormel plant. The strike's success in occupying the plant and shutting down operations is a testament to the workers' determination and the changing legal landscape that empowered them to use more aggressive tactics like sit-down strikes. The Industrial Commission's ruling on December 4, 1933, awarding wage increases to Hormel employees, is a crucial part of the strike's legacy.
The Hormel strike is not only a historical event but also a symbol of the workers' fight against oppressive labor conditions and the establishment of union rights. It set a precedent for future labor movements and highlighted the importance of collective bargaining and union representation in the workplace. The strike's anniversary serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for workers' rights and the need for continued advocacy and action in labor disputes

Nov 14, 1994 - Herman Melville's story of the white whale "Moby Dick" published in US
"Call me Ishmael" first appears in print in the United States, the opening line of a new novel by a former sailor. An earlier version entitled 'The Whale,' had been published in England. The novel will flop on both sides of the Atlantic, but long after Melville's death, it will be hailed as a classic.
