Happy May Day
"An anti-Nazi demonstrator is shown here being literally thrown out on his ear by police after attempting to break up a meeting of the German-American Volksbund at the Auditorium in October, 1938." (Milwaukee Journal, September 1, 1940)
The Capital Times (Madison, WI), April 16, 1940

Now this is a Great Books education I can get behind
US union officials, labor journalists and labor historians on the issue of CIA involvement in the AFL-CIO.
I think my Milwaukee followers would like to learn about hometown hero Aaron Toliver: leader of dockworkers and the unemployed, Popular Front agitator, civil rights activist, 6th Ward advocate, WWI vet, Baptist pastor, and judging from his obit photo, a Prince Hall Shriner
Happy birthday to the GOAT

@POTUS Then why do you oppose free, universal mental healthcare?
It's a truth that a lot of people don't want to admit because it cuts against narratives blaming the labor movement for its own decline or not being left enough or whatever. Not that those aren't legitimate issues. But the biggest issue is that the U.S. is a union-busting nation
Today, this event is still remembered in Milwaukee, replete with parades, speeches, memorials, and walks to replicate the march. But in the aftermath on the national scale, this all helped lead to the destruction of the Knights of Labor as a meaningful force in the labor movement
Both were involved in low-wage hard industrial labor and both had heavily immigrant populations. There were about 14,000 protestors at a May 5 rally. About 7,000 of them were building trades representatives, which were mostly native-born Americans or western European immigrants.
Workers in Milwaukee, as in Chicago, were ready to fight for the 8-hour day. These were two of the approximately 1,400 8-hour day strikes in the nation that year. The workforces were similar in the two cities.
In Chicago, the 8-hour struggle had led to major strikes, the police massacre of workers, and then the Haymarket bombing at an anarchist rally at least dedicated to protesting that police brutality.
This happened just as the 8-hour day strikes that characterized that year hit their peak in late April and early May.
Knights leader Terence Powderly had not intended to develop a mass organization and was highly uncomfortable with strikes. Then, the Great Southwest Strike against Gould failed and he crushed the Knights on his railroad.
The 1885 Knights victory over the odious Jay Gould provided a rare win that could inspire workers around the country. But by the spring of 1886, the Knights wave was about to crash.
The mid-1880 was a heady time for American workers. It finally seemed like some victories were possible. The rise of the Knights of Labor provided a loose structure by which workers could organize.
This Day in Labor History May 5, 1886. The Wisconsin National Guard opened fire on strikers in Milwaukee fighting for the 8-hour day, killing 7. Let's talk about the Bay View Massacre and how the state & employers routinely unite to crush workers movements, including today.
This incident is example of one of the most important points I make in my latest book, that there is almost no way workers can win if employers and the state unite to crush unions. That's the biggest story in American labor history. No way around it. amazon.com/History-Americ…
A quite frankly astounding image, one that shows how absolutely inflexible institutions are on this. It has proven to be the primary contradiction, the red line that will not be crossed. You will be crushed for saying the genocide is wrong—history demands it, democracy demands it
