    That “war” that lasted one week and resulted in less than 200 deaths was not a spontaneous giant event that came from nothing, it was a culmination of incremental steps and afterwards was a step leading to further steps.

    unionizing, employment contracts and organized resistance are the results of persistent, organized effort.
