Über diesen Titel

Boot Biters is a labor history podcast that strongly believes that history isn't boring and work shouldn't suck! We are witnessing an insane surge in labor organizing around the world and, of course, massive backlash to go along with it (and this is why we can't have nice things). Learning about the history of labor organizing is a first step toward understanding how we got here, how we got the protections we do have and how we hold on to them moving forward, and envisioning a world that treats workers with respect and dignity. From the first recorded labor strike in human history in Ancient Egypt to the West Virginia Mine Wars, we're going to cover it all!

Boot Biters is hosted by me, Dakota, a nerdy little goof who hyper-fixated on labor history and realized how much I didn't know and how important it was that I start learning. So come learn with me, I promise we're going to have a blast!

    10. Namibia's 1971 General Strike
    May 27 2025

    Migrant contract laborers in Namibia played a role in the wider movement for independence! The 1971 General Strike marked a major turning point in worker organizing across sectors, cities, and ethnic groups in the country and set the foundations for a wider political movement to overturn the South African mandate and the legacy of German colonialism. Let's learn about it!

    09: Oi, Strike the Sails! - The Origin of the Word Strike
    May 20 2025

    We've talked about the first recorded work stoppage in history in our very first episode, but when did we actually start using the word strike and why? In this episode we bounce back to 1768 in Sunderland and London, where sailors and coal heavers were getting creative in their strikes to demand better pay.

    08: Lettuce, Cantaloupe, and Cotton, Oh My! - CA Migrant Farmworker Strikes in the Great Depression
    May 13 2025

    TRIGGER WARNING: This episode describes graphic torture and discusses human rights abuses, including child death because of state neglect. I do give a heads up in episode before speaking about these topics, but wanted to caution upfront.

    In this episode, we learn about the successes and failures of a sampling of early strikes by migrant farmworkers in the Imperial Valley and the San Joaquin Valley in California, covering the 1928 Cantaloupe Strike, the 1930 Lettuce Strike and our main story: the absolutely insane 1933 San Joaquin Cotton Strike that devolved into open conflict between farmers and striking cotton pickers.
