A Moment in Time - Bayonne Refinery Strikers Picking Up Stones (circa 1910-1915)
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a fleeting moment of resilience and solidarity among workers at the Bayonne refinery, New Jersey, USA. Taken between circa 1910 and 1915 by Bain News Service, this black-and-white print reveals men - likely strikers from the nearby oil refineries - stoically gathering stones on an industrial site.
The image conveys a sense of quiet determination as these workers momentarily pause in their struggle for better working conditions, fair wages, and improved job security. The Bayonne refinery strikes were part of a broader labor movement that sought to address the growing concerns about employment rights during this period.
This photograph not only provides a glimpse into the lives of ordinary Americans but also serves as a testament to the power of collective action in shaping industrial relations. As we gaze upon these men, lost in thought or perhaps plotting their next move, we are reminded of the enduring importance of workers' rights and labor activism throughout history.
