Description

A vivid portrayal of the methods of the ‘Labor Spy’, based on testimony secured by the La Follette Civil Liberties Committee of the U.S. Senate.

The true story of how 80 million dollars was deducted from the wages of workers to hire “union wreckers” who involved themselves in every aspect of the spy-business, brutally manipulating clients, reports, and courts through the use of policemen, armed forces, and vigilante organizations in order to maintain “the open shop” of “the American Way.” Huberman concludes with a plea for collective bargaining.
