UAW shop steward slipped in the side door without revealing his prior connections....

Henry Ford sent Harry Bennett out to his gates to prevent just such a thing from happening.

Look up the records for March 7, 1932, the Great Ford Massacre, after two-thirds of the (nonunion) employees of the Ford Motor Company were laid off early in the Great Depression, and a march was made on the main Ford assembly plant.

Wow, looked into it. Amazed that so few were killed.

The protesters were about to call the march off and walk back home peacefully when suddenly the notorious Harry Bennett, head of Ford Security and the infamous Service Men, went out of a car with two other accomplices and started to open fire on the protesters with machine guns. The auto magnate’s right-hand man, Harry Bennett, was immediately recognized and injured by stone-throwing workers. Bennett emptied his own gun and then a police officer’s revolver into the workers. He and his goons killed 16-year-old Joe Bussell and left many more injured.
