Summary "Taistelu" by John Galsworthy is a play written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a labor strike at Trenathan Metal Works, focusing on the tensions and conflicts between the factory's management and the striking workers. The main character, John Anthony, is the chairman of the board, representing the interests of the management, while characters like Simon Harness, a union representative, and David Roberts, a worker leader, embody the struggles of the laborers. The opening of the play sets the scene during a crucial meeting of the factory's board members, where the ongoing strike and its implications for the company are discussed. Tensions run high as the characters debate the ethics and consequences of their actions in relation to the workers’ conditions. John Anthony stands firm against conceding to the workers' demands, illustrating a classic conflict between labor and management, while other characters express varying degrees of concern about the prolonged strike's impact on both their financial and social standings. This early exchange foreshadows the moral dilemmas and social justice themes that will unfold throughout the play. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
