It was when workers tried to unionize after WW 2. The fools who allowed the Government and Corporations now have to fight the Corporations, many in Government, crooked bosses and those who are still ignorant enough to blame it all on a few crooks in the Union.

The Government even sent the Pinkerton in to kill and break up strikes. Reagan put the demise of Unions in over drive.
