have to go back to the end of the civil war and the actions and responses by management and labor in the railroads. Bit later was the Black Mollies against the mine owners and then steelworkers and so on. The real start of the union movement. Read some Emma Goldman and then, Richard Henry Dana: Two Years Before The Mast.

Actions in the late 19th century against Scabs in many industries and then the management responses in bringing in the army. Pinkerton involvement. The Longshoreman strike in San Francisco with massive deaths and injuries.

Lotta history out there when no one was worrying about fur coats.
