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. It is credited with the creation of the po' boy sandwich. At one point a streetcar was burned by strikers.
