In May, 1970, construction workers in downtown Manhattan beat up young men and women who were protesting against the Vietnam War, which was killing working-class soldiers who had been drafted into the war. Hard hat workers and hippies, who might seem natural allies against nearby Wall Street, were instead pitted against each other. Today we talk with David Paul Kuhn; in his book The Hardhat Riot, he tells the story of when the white working class first turned against liberalism, siding with the party of big business and paving the way for presidencies from Reagan to Trump.And, on today’s Labor History in 2: Police Attack UE Amid the ‘46 Strike Wave.
