Studs Terkel, later a legendary local radio host and author but then a struggling actor, visited the scene the next day to perform at the union’s makeshift first aid station.

That guy was legit. I miss him.

The striking folks should make some documentaries and dramatizations of famous labor battles. Might get more awareness than picketing.
