Longshore workers striking in 1934 took a break on July 4th, 1934 for Independence Day before returning to picket lines. On July 5th, San Francisco police opened fire on striking workers, killing two and injuring 109 in what has since come to be known as Bloody Thursday. The deaths and subsequent turnout of 40,000 for the funeral procession turned public opinion in favor of the workers.

1 Mehring1: Your so right. The AFL wanted nothing to do with any real labor struggle, that is why the CIO was formed. When they merged it all went down hill. Obama has NO BALLS!

You wouldn't find the AFL-CIO fat cats having anything to do with such a struggle today, and such struggles are surely on their way when people realise Obama's just another Bush. The unions became an investment corporation themselves, another wing of the class enemy.
Workers of all countries, unite!
