None of the elements of the story concerning "corrupt" labor organizers, sawing the ladder so that an old worker would fall, sacrificing Joy's and Mac's lives, exist in the original Steinbeck novel. Steinbeck, who witnessed strikes and met many labor organizers in the 1930s, depicted these characters as idealists, but in the film adaptation, they are presented much less sympathetically, as manipulating and ruthless people.
