The relationship between labor and business was key to the American war effort. Yet despite patriotic efforts to maintain work, strikes continued. By 1943, workers resorted to the picket line again. Coal Miners caused most of the labor troubles in 1943. In late April, 3,000 coal mines were closed across the country, and the government eventually seized the mines.
