Puerto Rican Labor History 1898-1934 presents a history of the
organized labor movement in Puerto Rico from the United States'
colonial domination of the island in 1898 to the Great Depression
in the early 1930s. Although the most prominent Puerto Rican labor
leaders in the early twentieth century were strongly influenced by
revolutionary European socialist and anarchist ideology, the
organized labor movement as represented by the Federacion Libre de
los Trabajadores de Puerto Rico and the Partido Socialista became a
fundamentally reformist trade unionist campaign that relied heavily
on the democratic rights guaranteed by the United States government
and the support of the American Federation of Labor. Rather than
advocating for the overthrow of capitalism, the abolition of
private property and the wage labor system, and its replacement by
a socialist egalitarian cooperative society free of centralized
government authority, the organized workers' movement focused on
the immediate struggle for higher wages and better working
conditions by means of the organization of labor and participation
in electoral politics.
