days of infamy in the history of labour's attempts to get fair treatment and living wages from the Capitalist system.
The infamous
Ludlow Massacre
is just one more.
On this date in 1914 nineteen people were killed, mainly by the Colorado National Guard, during a labour dispute in Ludlow, Colorado, including "Two women and eleven children were asphyxiated and burned to death."
As long as this system exists there will be disparity, and those with might will continue to use it, even to the point of killing the workers to get what they want...
