How does the passage show unions? IAS
What might be the purpose of the way the union is
described in this passage?
Lectures were given round the clock by the volunteer
teachers, some speaking thirteen or fourteen times a day
in the cheerless rooms of the rented halls. Clara Lemlich
remembered talking nonstop for what seemed like days at
a time; the shirtwaist strike had become her life. The
workers drank in their lessons, taking them so fervently
to heart that those opening days of the strike had the
spirit of revival meetings, the workers new converts to
some soul-saving religion. They would win, they had only
to stick together and wait it out. What a wonderful thing
the union was. They loved it, they gave themselves to it,
clasping it to their bosoms, putting all their faith in it and
in one another.
