Abstract:This article studies a brief strike by Nikkei incarcerees at the Santa Anita Assembly Center in 1942. Employed in the industrial production of camouflage nets, the imprisoned Japanese Americans staged a strike over pay, worker safety, and rights. Ꮤithout previous guidelines, the center's administrators had to devise a resolution to this halt in the production of war materiel. The Santa Anita netmakers' strike and its resolution provided a foundation for handling labor disputes at the permanent ᏔRA camps later. The author identifies the administration, division of labor, pay, and unsafe work conditions, along with the strike leadership, management's response, and the outcome of the strike.
