November 19, 1915: Murder of revolutionary labor activist and songwriter Joe Hill

Utah union history: ‘I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night, alive as you and me’

Salt Lake City, UT - They murdered Joe Hill in Utah 100 years ago, on Nov. 19. The labor hero died at the hands of a firing squad, punishment for a murder he didn’t commit. His real crime was organizing workers into a union, opposing the class of bosses and tyrants who sentenced him to die.

It’s fitting his end came in Utah. Few other places have been as hostile to organized labor, or as willing to use violence to beat down laborers in their fight for basic rights. Despite the burden of an especially hostile ruling class, Utah has a long and proud history of radical worker struggle.

Like a true working-class rebel, Joe Hill keeps fighting even in death. He knew his legacy would live on to inspire millions, and he wanted it that way. Now, more than ever, we need to heed his words: “Don’t waste any time in mourning. Organize!”
