He was a key figure in the American labor movement during the early 20th century and helped organize some of the largest strikes in the country's history, including the Lawrence textile strike of 1912 and the Paterson silk strike of 1913. Bookman was also involved in left-wing politics and was a member of the Socialist Party of America. He was arrested repeatedly for his political activities and spent time in prison.
