Labor History Group Members Featured In Labor Day Video

Greater New Haven Labor History Association Vice President Dorothy Johnson and Communications Director Anson Smith are featured in a Labor Day video produced by the Western Connecticut Area Labor Federation. Dorothy talks about experiences as a local labor leader while Anson talks about the birth of anti-labor, mass-media propaganda in a 1936 strike in Middletown, CT. The strategies and tactics developed there were used in the battle for the Taft-Hartley Act 11 years later, and many are still in use today. Note: You may have to reset the video at the beginning
