    Man read a book on that time period.

    Those protests were not peaceful, a member of the business class almost got killed in his office.

    And the national guard killed kids, women.

    Striking and the threat of more striking is what happened not peaceful protests. And working folks died.

      What lead up to the 1938 labor laws was in fact peaceful protests and negotiations.

      I’m not saying the time period lacked strife and similar events, but there was an immediate cause effect cited by all sides of the issue from the specific peaceful protests and auto workers union.
