On this day, 5 July 1934 in San Francisco was Bloody Thursday, when police killed two longshoreman strikers and a bystander and hospitalised 115 people. Workers had been on strike against casual hiring methods on the docks. Within two weeks workers across the city launched a general strike against the wishes of the unions, and while the AFL disowned then effectively ended the strike, the longshoremen won the establishment of jointly operated hiring halls.
