Take the Charleston Five: dock workers that were arrested for beating up cops. The cops were protecting non-union dock workers from the union guys that were trying to beat them up for unloading a ship for 1/4 the cost of the union workers.

There are hundreds of stories in the early 1900's as to why unions needed to exist. There are hundreds of stories in the late 1900's as to why unions need to go away.
