Remembering the Labor Movement in Colorado
We must remember the Labor Movement did not just cost workers time in wages or companies in money or loss of production. The Labor Movement and the right to unionize cost workers and their families their lives. The role of state and federal government has to be remembered for how the government should and should not respond to labor disputes.The Ludlow Massacre is an example of the high costs paid for the right to unionize in blood and the questionable decisions of the Governor of the State of Colorado during this labor dispute.
