Produced by Cecil B. deMille

This ten-minute film produced by and features the famous Hollywood Director Cecil B. deMille. He discusses his personal experience with the heavy hand of forced unionism.

Here's part of deMille's introduction of Showdown! I am speaking as a private citizen who believes that every American must have the right to earn a living for himself and his family everyone whether he belongs to a labor union or not.

Today in more than half the states, unions have the legalized power to force a man to join them, and support causes to which he may be conscientiously opposed. Can you as a responsible citizen close your eyes to the fact that in your own state a man's Right To Work can be taken away from him by the whim of a labor boss? Can you afford to leave such power in any hands? In 1944, because I refused a $1 (one dollar) assessment to support a political stand to which I was opposed I was suspended by that other union. As a result of that suspension, I lost my Right To Work in radio and television. The loss of my radio job did not bankrupt me. But, it woke me up with a terrible jolt to my responsibility and your responsibility to work for legislation to protect men and women for whom a loss of a job might mean disaster. You are going to be faced with a showdown... it is the admitted purpose of the Big Labor Bosses to organize every wage earner and every salaried employee in this nation. That means you.

@phpimen He only outlawed all the unions except the one he was in. Hitler was also a socialist who took all the money from a group of ppl who were seen as doing quite well compared to the rest of germany during the horrible economic period following world war I. The most damaging thing to germany in that time was rapid and rabbid inflation that hurt the lower and middle classes the most. Its odd that this is going on today as well. I know whose side im on, the side opposite of you and hitler

May 2, 1933 - the day Hitler outlawed Unions. Whose side are YOU on?

We saw a pretty good example of what our unions have become in the USA,they had a "rally"in DC over the weekend and were pretty vile. They also left piles of trash all over the grounds.
