Join the Wisconsin Labor History Society for a FREE talk at the Bay View Branch of the Public Library. We'll begin by reviewing the history of the national fight for the eight hour day before narrowing to the local experience of this pivotal struggle, which includes the deaths of seven workers at the hands of the state militia. As American workers are once again on the move fighting for their rights, come to learn about this history of struggle and sacrifice for the working class, and how the past helps us understand the present.Follow the link for a PDF flier, suitable for a flier table in a union hall or to hang on a workplace bulletin board. https://drive.google.com/file/d/12ovyBiX83py8xlB6QhPqX0C7YCqZWEAe/view?usp=sharing
