minus-square@rockSlayerlink8•1 month agoWell Gompers would be all in on the anti-china thing going on right now, he’s part of why the AFL supported the Chinese Exclusion Act. Mother Jones would probably die a second time from a heart attack when she finds out that republicans are rolling back child labor protections. IWW members would probably be organizing service, retail, and contract workers. The men from Blair mountain and Harlan county probably wouldn’t lay their arms down this time.
