Bosses and CEOs can’t expect loyalty from workers when they’re not willing to give it in return. That’s why we have to hold them accountable and demand fair treatment. 👊

Enemy of Labor #3? George Pullman ❌
He built luxury railcars while exploiting workers. In 1894, he cut wages but kept rents high in his company town. When workers protested, he crushed them—sparking the violent Pullman Strike. Profits over people, every time.

On this day in 1963, more than 250,000 people gathered for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. It demanded fair wages, equal rights, and dignity on the job—and showed that civil rights and labor rights are inseparable.

Enemy of Labor #2: Henry Clay Frick. 👎
Carnegie’s ruthless lieutenant, he sent Pinkertons to attack striking steelworkers in 1892, killing & injuring dozens to crush the union and protect profits. ❌ We’ll never forget.

Welcome to our new series: Enemies of Labor. Enemy #1? Andrew Carnegie.
He built a name on libraries and philanthropy — but built his fortune by exploiting workers. Carnegie’s steel empire violently broke the Homestead Strike, slashed wages and fought unions at every turn.
