E. J. DIONNE JR.
(Eugene Joseph Dionne Jr.)
Most Republicans at the time regarded labor unions as negative forces in American society and backed and passed much anti-union legislation. The labor movement in America considered the Republicans to be their major enemies, yet the Republicans of the era were almost always supportive of labor unions especially if they were an opposing force to communist governments as in Poland.
