As a kid growing up in the Youngstown area in the '60s and '70s, I knew some of the men involved in the Little Steel Strike of 1937, also known as the Memorial Day Massacre;
There is TONS of history on this subject. The labor movement was long and often violent. And NO, it wasn't always "union sponsored violence", that is a distortion of history, foisted upon us by powerful interests with an agenda.
At any rate, I hope you find the links I've provided interesting and informative.
