The first program of the Screen Guild Theatre radio show airs.

About Today In Labor History
The NHLN has joined with multiple other websites to help highlight some of the struggles that workers have faced throughout our history. We want everyone to know what the workers of the past had to endure for the rights we take for granted now. If you do not learn from the past, you are doomed to repeat it.

We are doomed to repeat it I fear. A lot of Americans have no sense of history and take all the rights that labor fought for in the past for granted.
