The Real History of Labor in the United States
Recently, it came to my attention that Chicago Teachers Union Boss Karen Lewis had made some extremely disturbing comments about labor history. Here they are, but I warn you they're not for the faint of heart:
As you can see, she's practically calling for workers to rise up and kill everybody making more money them. No less an authority than Michelle Malkin called Karen Lewis "Chicago thuggery personified."”The labor leaders of that time, though, were ready to kill. They were. They were just - off with their heads. They were seriously talking about that.“I don’t think we’re at that point. The key is that they think nothing of killing us. They think nothing about putting us in harm’s way. They think nothing about lethal working conditions.”
Still, my complaint isn't that Karen Lewis is inciting violence, but that she was speaking at a labor history conference and acting like labor history was all about violent confrontations between labor and management.
