Delving beneath Southern Californias popular image as a sunny frontier of leisure and ease, this book tells the dynamic story of the life and labor of Los Angeless large working class. In a sweeping narrative that takes into account more than a century of labor history, John H. M. Laslett acknowledges the advantages Southern Californias climate, open spaces, and bucolic character offered to generations of newcomers. At the same time, he demonstrates thatin terms of wages, hours, and conditions of workL.A. differed very little from Americas other industrial cities. Both fastpaced and sophisticated, Sunshine Was Never Enough shows how labor in all its guisesblue and white collar, industrial, agricultural, and high techshaped the neighborhoods, economic policies, racial attitudes, and class perceptions of the City of Angels.Laslett explains how, until the 1930s, many of L.A.s workers were under the thumb of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association. This conservative organization kept wages low, suppressed trade unions, and made L.A. into the open shop capital of America. By contrast now, at a time when the AFLCIO is at its lowest ebba young generation of Mexican and African American organizers has infused the L.A. movement with renewed strength. These stories of the men and women who pumped oil, loaded ships in San Pedro harbor, built movie sets, assembled aircraft, and in more recent times cleaned hotels and washed cars is a littleknown but vital part of Los Angeles history.
