On this day in Labor History the year was 1937. That was the day that came to be known as the Republic Steel Massacre or the Memorial Day Massacre, in Chicago, Illinois. Workers had gathered to rally for a union at the Republic Steel Plant. The crowd included men, women and children and began with a festive holiday atmosphere.
