1946 Oakland general strike
The 1946 Oakland general strike was general strike involving 50,000 workers over two days in Oakland, California, United States. Beginning at 5:00am on December 3, it ended two days later on December 5 at 11:00am. The strike followed a previous, smaller scale strike action by 400 female employees of Hastings and Kahn's, who had walked out in the fall of 1946 because of the resistance Oakland's retail merchants had to unionization. It was part of a strike wave which began the year prior following the end of the World War II.
