Read and reread the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved. The officers of Local 25 sent them on to the owners — along with one more demand, recognition of the union. This came to mean the "closed shop." Only union members can work in a closed shop, since the only way to set uniform wages and standards is to have the union do it; otherwise employers would always try to undercut one another. And the union can standardize the industry only when it controls the supply of labor through the union shop.

Read and reread the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved.

A strike fund would have to be raised, an information bureau set up where strikers could register for relief, or for help with legal and personal problems. Publicity was another vital need — photos and eyewitness accounts of workers on the picket lines being harassed by gorillas and police. The picket lines themselves would have to be organized.

Why was publicity a vital need for the strikers?

They needed help paying their bills while not working.
They needed to register for legal and personal information.
They needed the nation to hear and see their story.
They needed their picket lines to be organized.
