On this day, 23 May 1946, the largest mass arrest in the history of Rochester, New York, took place when 300 police rounded up 208 municipal workers who were on strike for reinstatement to their jobs and union recognition. In addition to picketers, they arrested a teacher on her way to work, a plumber who was walking by, and even one of the strikers’ dogs. The repression did not deter the workers, however, and the strike spread and was won the following week.
