MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History April 12, 1934: The Toledo (Ohio) Auto-Lite General Strike began on this day. Initially, 6,000 workers struck for union recognition and higher pay. In late May, there was a five-day battle between the strikers and 1,300 members of the Ohio National Guard. The militia fired on workers. They shot tear gas, which the workers threw back at them. They attacked with bayonets and the workers retaliated with bricks, injuring several soldiers. The “Battle of Toledo,” left two strikers dead and more than 200 injured. The strike lasted for two months and resulted in a win for the union. It was one of the most important labor struggles of the 20th century. During that same spring, there were also General Strikes in San Francisco and Minneapolis.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GeneralStrike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GeneralStrike</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/toledo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>toledo</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/militia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>militia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nationalguard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nationalguard</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wages</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History January 25, 1787: Daniel Shays and 800 followers marched to Springfield, Massachusetts to seize the Federal arsenal during Shays’ Rebellion. The Massachusetts State militia, together with a private militia, ultimately defeated them. They were trying to end the imprisonment of farmers for debts, confiscation of their lands and other attempts by the wealthy to make the poor pay for the Revolutionary War. The authorities convicted and hanged many of Shays’ followers for treason. Shays, himself, fled to Vermont. He eventually won a pardon. I response to the rebellion, Thomas Jefferson wrote, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." George Washington blamed the rebellion, in part, on the weakness of the Articles of Confederation. He and the Federalists wanted a new constitution and the rebellion likely influenced many anti-Federalists to support the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, which was designed, in part, to prevent other similar uprisings by the common people against slave owners, bankers, landlords and businessmen. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/shays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shays</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rebellion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rebellion</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/landlords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>landlords</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bankers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bankers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/slavery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>slavery</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prison</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/treason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>treason</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/uprising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uprising</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/militia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>militia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/constitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>constitution</span></a></p>
