The other side of industrialization: the workers Simulation Instructions  The game has six rounds  During each round, you will have a few minutes to decide whether you want to play a green card or a pink card  You may send a representative to talk to other groups about what color each group should play.  Once you decide which card to play, hide that card. Hide your other card in the envelope and place the envelope in the middle of your desk.

Instructions At the end of each round, all groups will be asked to reveal their cards by quickly holding them up at the same time. Points will be given in the following manner:  If ALL groups play a green card, every group will receive points.  If some groups play green and some play pink, groups that played pink will receive positive points  If ALL groups play pink, every group will receive negative points.  Points +/- 1 Point The group with the most points wins!

Scoring: After each round, the scores will be tallied on the white board GroupRound 1 Round 2 Round 3Round 4 Round 5 Total Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Group 4 Group 5 Group 6 Group 7 Group 8 Group 9

Each round Cards & Points Procedure If ALL groups play a green card, every group will receive points. If some groups play green and some play pink, groups that played pink will receive positive points If ALL groups play pink, every group will receive negative points. Points +/- 1 Point Once you decide which card to play, hide that card under one person’s desk. Hide your other card in the envelope and place the envelope in the middle of your group of desks.

Processing 1. What emotions did you experience while playing the game? 2. For those of you who played a green card every time, why did you do that? 3. For those of you who played a pink card even once, why did you do that? 4. Why was (or wasn’t) the class able to play the game so that everyone won? 5. Can you think of something from history or real life that has a similar dynamic to this game?

14.3 Formation of unions The green card represented joining a union. The pink card represented “scabs” or workers who crossed the picket line.

Which of these groups do you think should have a union? Discuss with a partner:  Teachers  Janitors  Autoworkers  Nurses  Farmworkers  fastfood workers  BART workers?

Current issues with unions Why might unions have a bad reputation in general (even with people who aren’t workers)? Does having a union benefit people besides the workers themselves? Read the handout on the current state of union involvement and it’s possible effect on our economy.  Pay attention to why some people like unions while others oppose them.

Hypothesize: According to this document, why did the Homestead Strike turn violent? Explain Evidence: quotes/info from the document supporting the suggestion Doc A Doc B Doc C

Wrap Up New vocabulary – add strike to your glossary Based on your experience in the game and what you read about unions today, why might it have been difficult for workers to form labor unions? Would you have advised an immigrant who had just come to the US looking for work to join a union? Why or why not? Why might workers have wanted to form labor unions, despite those difficulties? What was the government’s response to the Homestead and Pullman strikes?
