February 27

On this day in labor history the year was 1939 and the US Supreme Court ruled that sit-down strikes were illegal.

If you are a regular listener of Labor History in 2:00, last month you might have heard how sit-down strikes had become an important tactic for workers during the 1930s.

The Supreme Court siding with private-ownership corporatists over labor.

Labor is not people, labor is part of the machine, easily replaced when broken.
