Labor disputes have been accruing since early American history. There have
             been unsettled issues that would either affect the employer or the employees.
             When employers and employees were unable to solve their differences employees feel
             that in order to have reasonable demands met they would have to cease production to
             gain the attention of the employer. This is what was referred to as a strike.
             1636 was the first reported labor dispute. It included a group of young students who lived in Richmond Island, that where employed by Robert Trelawney. The students fell, "into a mutany"1 when their employer Robert Trelawney withheld the student's wages. In 1768 our country's first authentic labor strike took place in New York. Twenty plus journeymen and tailors walked off the job. The journeymen and tailors felt the reduction in wages that their employer put into effect was unfair. As our country grew and changed over time, the labor strikes in the past and in the present have been researched and compared, but the finger always pointed in one direction, the strikes are caused by the cutting of the employee's wages and or benefits. To support this fact research has clearly answered three basic questions: What in Harry S. Truman, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton's background might have been a factor in preparing them to make decisions on the correct and expedient matter to term!
