The Pinkerton Labor Spy

by Morris Friedman

This work examines the operational methods of the Pinkerton Detective Agency and its involvement in labor disputes, specifically the Cripple Creek strike and the legal case against Moyer, Haywood, and Pettibone. The author details the activities of various undercover operatives and argues that the agency functions as an essential tool for the capitalist class in its conflict with organized labor.
