Elevator Strikes
text:
The Elevator Strikes were a series of labor strikes that took place from the 1920s to the 1960s across the United States, but most notably in New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago. Before the automation of elevators, elevator operators had to “open and close the manual doors, control the direction and speed of the car, take requests from passengers on board, and announce what businesses were located on each floor as they approached.” Prior to the world wars, this role was mainly held by men.
