Great article. Glad to see the folks at work here. -- 71.36.251.182 22:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
This could be greatly expanded. I don't really have the expertise to take it on, but just from what I know of Seattle history, there is a lot that could be added (e.g. Seattle strike leader Shelvy Daffron was ambushed and killed on June 30, 1934). One consequence of the strike for Seattle was a major loss of Asian trade, which shifted to Los Angeles.
I don't want to blow the Seattle part of the story out of proportion, and I'm not sure how large the Seattle events were relative to those in the Bay Area. I do know that the belong as a section in a larger article. - Jmabel | Talk 06:15, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
Someone created a re-direct from San Francisco General Strike to this page, but the topics would be better served as two separate pages. The West Coast Strike hit cities up and down the west coast, whereas the General Strike took on its own character in San Francisco, involving the general population.

In the May, 17th, 1944 release of the German newsreel Die Deutsche Wochenschau, footage from this strike is claimed to be current. The narrator says "Strikes and lockouts in America and England typify again and again the real social conditions of our enemy." Might this be worth including in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RugTimXII ( talk • contribs) 00:47, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
