The Long History of Labor Bashing - The Chronicle Review - The Chronicle of Higher Education: "This right-wing critique of trade unionism has often been contradictory and inconsistent. At the turn of the 20th century, many establishment figures in the news media and politics saw the unionism of their era as but a manifestation of immigrant radicalism, often violent and subversive. After World War I, the business offensive against the unions went by the name of 'The American Plan,' with the American Legion and other patriotic groups often serving as the antilabor militants who broke picket lines and physically manhandled union activists."
