In this episode of History Brief, a series of labor disputes break out during the late 19teens and 1920s. John L. Lewis and future president Calvin Coolidge both played major roles.

Robert, what we need is to once again have a strong labor union movement, as alas all those gains for workers rights are being shoved to history, and the American worker is one of the most abused of workers in all western countries.

This is not talked about a lot which is unfortunate because you have an example of white working class people being brutalized by mercenaries.

I'd like to thank you guys for all of your hard work compiling these videos.

I came across one while searching for videos to enhance my son's studies. Each time I did a search on a new subject, I kept seeing your videos and they really cover things well. They also coincide perfectly with the sections in the history book I am using.

Thanks again!!
