> It was a hard, violent fight. People died at strikes for those protections. Just a personal anecdote, my biological grandfathers trunk was firebombed by the Philly Roofers Union (UURWAW) due to a dispute with them. The K&A gang in that area is well known to be tied into the union[0] and was known to fairly regularly engage in violence like that to prevent "scabs". My point being, the violence was omni-directional and this fact is often omitted by those in favor of unions. [0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%26A_Gang#Roofers'_Union_corr... |
