June 9, 2016
On this day in Labor History the year was 1954. That was the day that marked the public downfall of Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy. Senator McCarthy had become the public face of anti-Communist hysteria during the Cold War. He used his position as Senator to make wild accusations against alleged communists in the US Government.
