I just want to remind everyone (or inform if you haven't heard yet) that Universal trimmed trees that offered shade to picketers while experiencing a heatwave. I just don't want anyone to forget Universal purposefully removed a shaded area to discourage picketing.
"Mayor Objects To Police In East Windsor," Border Cities Star. April 10, 1934. Page 3. --- Says Windsor Constables Should Not Be There ---- MAYOR CROLL this afternoon protested the transportation of Windsor police to the East Windsor strike zone.
His Worship, learning that Chief Wigle had sent a detachment of 18 officers to the East Windsor police headquarters this morning, promptly voiced his disapproval in a most emphatic manner and called an emergency sitting of the Windsor Police Commission to deal with the situation.
"I did not hear of the move until noon," the mayor announced. "The East Windsor affair is not a criminal situation and our police had no business there. The situation in East Windsor is an economic matter, not a criminal matter, and our police are not to be used to coerce strikers in the automobile plants of East Windsor or other municipalities."
Mayor Croll added, "I was in total ignorance of the move until 12 o'clock but I immediately took action."
The mayor called the meeting of the commission directly he returned from the strike picket lines in front of the Canadian Motor Lamp Company in Seminole street.
The mayor went to East Windsor to verify conflicting reports of the presence there of the Windsor officers.
At 2:45 this afternoon the Windsor police officers were still in East Windsor.
At 3.20 Mayor Croll sent the Windsor police back to Windsor.

“God hates the hands that shed his blood,” the protester tells the woman.
“Just shut up that is so traumatic,” the patient responds. “That is so fucking…

Western Union strikers leave the line for a snack between picketing stints at a cafeteria at 147 Broadway, January 13, 1946. They got coffee and eats on the house. In Manhattan Center, 5,000 strikers gathered to hear union officials pledge that the strike would continue until they won their demands or "hell freezes over."

Terminal workers strike for first contract: 1970
A Trailways terminal employee pickets the facility at 12th and New York Avenue NW November 11, 1970 after the union called a strike to obtain a first contract.
The terminal employees, including ticket agents, clerks and baggage handlers were organized five months previously into Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1112.
The main issue in the strike was over a union security clause that would have required all workers in the unit to join the unit or pay an agency fee. The union had signed-up 86 of the 92 workers.
Operations were not significantly affected as supervisors filled in and drivers were under a separate contract with a no-strike clause.
The strike lasted until November 14th when workers gave up on the issue of obtaining a union shop.
The Washington Star quoted a union representative as saying the settlement was a “reasonably good economic package” and added that the workers dropped their union shop demand after “threatening” letters were sent to strikers.”
