20 апр 1914 г. - Ludlow Massacre

Описание:

The Ludlow Massacre was a violent conflict that took place on April 20, 1914, in Ludlow, Colorado, during a labor strike by coal miners.

The Ludlow Massacre began when a group of armed miners, who were striking to protest low wages and poor working conditions, clashed with state militia and mine guards. The conflict quickly escalated, and gunfire was exchanged between the two sides.

The Ludlow Massacre was a significant event in U.S. labor history and was a major factor in the passage of the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, which established the right to collective bargaining for American workers. It was also a key event in the history of the UMWA and helped to bring attention to the struggles of coal miners in the United States.
