The 1929 New Orleans streetcar strike was a labor dispute between streetcar workers and the New Orleans Public Service, Inc. (NOPSI). Involving 1,100 workers, it began on July 1, 1929, and lasted over four months.[1] It is credited with the creation of the po' boy sandwich.[2][3][4][5] At one point a streetcar was burned by strikers.[5]
