Explore the union battles of the past, the implications for today

Greater New Haven Labor History Association Vice President Dorothy Johnson and Communications Director Anson Smith are featured in a Labor Day video produced by the Western Connecticut Area Labor Federation. Dorothy talks about experiences as a local union leader while Anson talks about the rise of anti-worker propaganda and mass media in a 1936 strike in Middletown, CT. The strategies and tactics developed there were used in the battle for the Taft-Hartley Act 11 years later, and many are still in use.
