Labor History Part Two: The Gilded Age

This video is part one of a four part video series on Labor history. Produced by The Boilermakers Local 647, this video series tries to tell our side of history. America owes a great deal to the men and women who have fought for basic human rights over the years by joining together in a union and standing up for their rights. These people have made America the power it is. Unfortunately, unions have gotten a bad rap lately. Some of it deserved but much of it not. The anti-union forces has had a far more effective propaganda machine and have convinced Americans that unions are terrible. Our tale needs to be told, and this is the first part of our story covering the Industrial Revolution and the beginnings of labor's struggle.

Please look for parts 1, 3, and 4.

All over. They exist everywhere on the net. Unfortunately, what I have found is likely only a very small slice that actually exists off the web.
