Masked goons stage a military-style attack on a Chicago apartment building.

The "Gen Z" movement alleges, however, that paid goons had looted various buildings in order to undermine their cause.

Private sector workers won the right to form unions and strike under the National Labor Relations Board, largely ending the union-busting and goon violence of decades past.
