The Assault on Labor details the 1986 Independent Federation of
Flight Attendants (IFFA) strike against Trans World Airlines (TWA),
one of the most dramatic instances of the heightened labor conflict
in the 1980s. Using extensive court, union, and company documents,
The Assault on Labor shows how the expanded use of permanent
replacements in labor disputes has fundamentally altered workers'
legal right to strike. Set within one of the biggest corporate
raids of the time, it was a strike of a predominantly female labor
force that garnered respect throughout the labor movement for its
solidarity and determination. Faced with the permanent replacement
of over 5000 strikers, IFFA waged a three year struggle to return
all workers to the line, mobilizing political, economic, and legal
actions to secure their jobs and survive as a union. Despite
critical successes in the courts in the aftermath of the strike,
the Supreme Court would render a decision that further strengthened
permanent replacements. Since the 1980s, labor's major form of
protest, the right to strike, has all but disappeared.
