It was a bit different back in 1914 but also a lot the same. One thing that remains totally intact is the hate. The powerful hate so much they kill and in this case two women and 11 children were massacred at the hands of the guvmint. Wiki Link.
The ones on the other side are outraged and their hate gushes out. I'm pissed and have written many times that I "hate ". There is a difference in that I wish no harm come but these people worry me. What makes it difficult to swallow is they base their beliefs and intensity for them on known falsehoods mixed as well with god nonsense.
OTC supports all unions in this current struggle and understands the risk many take to express their support for the right to organize. The Professional Left has an excellent podcast on unions from 2/25.
I remember reading about this when I was doing some research a while back...the whole thing was just horrible.

Not only hate, but greed... I haven't heard of this before. Horrible!!!
ReplyDeleteNot only was this about unions then it's the same now. These people's deaths must not be in vain as it's theirs and so many others sacrifices that got us the few benefits we had in the work place
ReplyDeleteCorporations and the rich were never going to give workers a thing if it weren't for Unions.
Fox Whore News and bought off politicians say "Unions bad" so the sheep bleat "yeeeeesss" and have no clue why the reason they don't have to work the weekend or why they have time to spend time with their kids because they have an eight hour workday.
Just wait!
Unions were always built on bloodshed and grief. It's vital that union members today should never forget that.
ReplyDeleteI'm headed down there later this morning for the little anniversary ceremony they have every year.
ReplyDeleteI need to hear what is said today Tony - in these times.
