History of Unions -Inheritance

from site I took this from: We made this film in 1964 for the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America. We are making it available in its entirety to the public now because we are concerned about the current attacks on Unions and workers. We hope that the film will remind the public of why Unions are so vital to our country. The Inheritance shows what life was really like for immigrants and working Americans from the turn of the century through the fight for civil rights in the 1960s. This stirring history of our country shows their struggle to put down roots, form labor unions, survive wars, and finally, create a new and better life for themselves and our nation. ----- -- this segment has the Chicago Republic steel strike. If this is correct, all ten of the demonstrators killed were shot in back by Chicago police note: newsreels of the even were censored and unavailable to the public for a long time. -----
