5 July - Bloody Thursday
"Bloody Thursday" on the US West Coast is celebrated by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union. Modern working conditions, which today are taken for granted, have their origins in the early trade union movements of yesteryear. In particular, on Thursday July 5, 1934, two people, Howard Sperry and Nick Bordoise, were killed and several wounded during a confrontation on Rincon Hill in San Francisco, California, USA. The San Francisco Labor Council called a general strike on July 15, 1934. It was a peaceful and effective strike that lasted only a few days. Both sides agreed to arbitration and the general strike was suspended. An agreement was reached in the autumn of 1934. It marked the end of many labor policies dictated solely in the interests of employers.
