 The strike is notorious for spawning the "Mohawk Valley formula," a corporate plan for strikebreaking to discredit union leaders, frighten the public with the threat of violence, use local police and vigilantes to intimidate strikers, form puppet associations of "loyal employees" to influence public debate, fortify workplaces, employ large numbers of strikebreakers, and threaten to close the plant if work is not resumed.The Mohawk Valley formula was described in an article by company president James Rand, Jr., and published in the "National Association of Manufacturers Labor Relations Bulletin" in the fourth month of the strike.The article was widely disseminated in pamphlet form by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) later that year.
