11 Online fouls bring new legal challenges Online communication has become a hotbed for litigation, in part because people believe they can hide their identities behind a computer or smartphone screen. Many users are discovering, however, that their online fouls can cross over the line into actionable, illegal conduct. Social media has become a primary communication tool in our culture, and has resulted in new types of lawsuits.

PUBLISHER’S NOTES

EDITORIAL DEADLINE : 15th of month AD DEADLINE : 15th of month EDITORIAL / MARKETING INTERNSHIPS :

The September of my (college) years

here’s a way the light looks in early September that reminds me of my first week in Michigan. Like so many people I knew in 1980s Youngstown, graduation from college meant two things – more school or move away. I did both. In the fall of 1986, I started graduate school and a new job 214 miles away from where I grew up. But if you want to grow, you need to step out of your comfort zone. Living in Ann Arbor, Mich. was broadening, but it was also very hard being away from family and friends. But that’s what young adult life is all about – experiencing new places and ideas. I was lucky to work at The Ann Arbor News, a daily newspaper with so many smart, capable people. The paper was produced with great care and many special features had tremendous value for readers. Although I never worked on the newspaper’s guide to the University of Michigan, I was always impressed by what it achieved. The section offered quick access to what students needed to know as newcomers. This month represents our version of that special feature. Although we’ve aimed for a broader audience, the spirit of that section is here. We hope you find the content useful and interesting. Enjoy fall, and maybe try something new. Be well and see you next month. Ð Mark C. Peyko, Metro Monthly Publisher

Road construction near YSU to require traffic detours

ick and Lincoln avenues, two primary campus arteries at Youngstown State University, are undergoing major reconstruction, which will necessitate detours and possible traffic delays throughout fall. The projects, which include new street surfaces, sidewalks, curbing, lighting, lane configurations and landscaping, will significantly upgrade two of the most visible and travelled entrances to and through campus. In addition, utility lines along Wick Avenue between Rayen Avenue and the Madison Avenue Expressway will be placed underground. The project is led by the city of Youngstown. Throughout the project, there will be numerous lane closures, traffic restrictions and detours that could change from dayto-day and week-to-week during construction. Motorists are advised to allow extra time for travel and pay close attention to and follow all posted detours. Pedestrians advised to be particularly cautious in crossing both streets during construction.

We couldn’t have done it without everybody’s participation. The recognition is justly deserved and I’m very proud of the organization and everybody who works here.” Since 1995, no hospital has ranked higher in heart care than Cleveland Clinic. “We are very grateful, honored and encouraged to be recognized for 22 years as the best hospital in the country for heart care,” said Lars Svensson, M.D., Ph.D., chairman of Cleveland Clinic’s Miller Family Heart & Vascular Institute. “We are passionately committed to excellent quality of care for our patients during a changing healthcare environment.” Cleveland Clinic is one of just 20 hospitals nationwide to earn a place on U.S. News’ 2016-17 Honor Roll, which recognizes hospitals that place “an emphasis on safe, efficient and appropriate delivery of care from birth to the end of life.” Additional details from the hospital rankings include: ■ Nine Cleveland Clinic programs placed in the Top 3 nationally – cardiol6 METROMONTHLY.NET | AUGUST 2016

YSU reports enrollment increase for fall semester Youngstown State University opened a new academic year today with increased enrollment, residence halls at capacity and a freshman class that is the strongest academically in the university’s history.

YSU started the fall semester with 12,801 students, up 426 from 12,375 on the first day of classes last year, according to unofficial student counts. (Official student counts will be recorded on the 15th day of the semester.) It is YSU’s first fall-to-fall enrollment increase since 2010. The incoming freshman class is 6 percent larger than last year and, for the third consecutive year, has the highest standardized test scores and high school grade point averages in YSU’s history. “Reversing the trend on enrollment is a major step forward as we continue to focus on increasing excellence across campus,” said YSU President Jim Tressel. “While growing enrollment will remain a priority, we also are working hard to ensure that, once here at YSU, students have the resources to find success, graduate on time, with as little debt as possible and with a job.” “Enrollment success is dependent on the work of the entire campus community,” said Gary Swegan, associate vice president of Enrollment Management. “YSU faculty, staff and current students have worked extremely hard to put us in a position to share this very positive news for fall 2016.” Specifically:

■ University residence halls, as well at the YSU Courtyard Apartments on Wick Oval, are at capacity with 1,278 students, up from 1,154 two years ago. ■ 2,193 freshmen enrolled, up 6 percent from last year and 20 percent from 2014. ■ 21.75 average ACT test scores for incoming freshmen, a new high. The scores surpass last year’s 21.19 and the 21.09 in 2014. ■ 3.24 average high school grade point average of incoming freshmen, also a new high. The average is above last year’s 3.14, 3.12 in 2014 and 2.97 in 2013. ■ 245 freshmen in the Honors College, up from 175 last year and 96 in 2014. ■ Freshmen from 23 states, 459 high schools and 51 Ohio counties, up from 16 states, 303 high schools and 37 Ohio counties in 2014. ■ Significant enrollment gains in four of YSU’s five primary service counties, despite overall population declines: Trumbull up 10.5 percent, Columbiana up 52 percent, Mercer County (Pa.) up 12 percent and Lawrence County (Pa.) up 14.71 percent. Mahoning County is down 1.15 percent. ■ The number of transfer students and students enrolled in graduate-level classes is up.

Boy Scouts install duck boxes at sanctuary

■ Through the efforts of Boy Scout Luke Bowser, five new duck nesting boxes were installed at Pond #4 at the Mill Creek Wildlife Sanctuary in early August. Wood duck boxes were constructed and installed in accordance with Ohio Department of Natural Resources and Ducks Unlimited standards and recommendations, including having predator guards for each box. The project also included the removal of all existing, old nest box posts and components. Bowser was required to coordinate and manage the project as part of his Eagle Award. He rallied fellow Boy Scouts from his troop to help with the efforts. Wood duck boxes provide a man-made alternative where hens can nest in relative safety from predators, therefore boosting local duck populations.

Online communications bring new legal challenges H

ow have social media and electronic communication brought about new legal challenges? Online communication has become a hotbed for litigation, in part because people believe they can hide their identities behind a computer or smartphone screen. Many users are discovering, however, that their online fouls can cross over the line into actionable, illegal conduct. Social media has become a primary communication tool in our culture, and has resulted in new types of lawsuits. For example, employees have been terminated from employment for communications or disclosures made via social media, and individuals have been sued for defamatory statements they have made via social media. What kind of online statements can expose someone to liability? Social media is a fairly new communication tool, but the law regarding communication has not changed. The term Twibel, a combination of “Twitter” and “libel” has been adopted to describe this mix of social media communications and old law. Libel is defaming someone (publishing a false statement of fact that harms another’s reputation or business) through written or printed words, pictures, or any form other than the spoken word. Twibel is simply libel that is committed through a social media communication tool. In one Twibel suit, a real estate

BUTTONS, BADGES & BULLYING: WHAT’S ALLOWED AT WORK ? ■ My employer said a shirt I wore to work was offensive and that I wasn’t allowed to wear it anymore. Can my employer keep me from wearing my shirt? Generally, an employer can restrict employees from wearing clothing that is disruptive, discriminatory or offends customers. However, your employer must consistently apply business-related reasons for such decisions and must not restrict employees’ rights to communicate about matters of common concern in the workplace. ■ So, do I have the right to communicate my ideas about matters of common concern in the workplace?

company brought a $50,000 suit against a tenant for tweeting this: “Who said sleeping in a moldy apartment was bad for you? [The real estate company] thinks it’s okay.” The court dismissed the case, finding the tweet was “too vague to meet the legal standard for libel.” Others cases have been similarly unsuccessful. Twibel cases are reviewed just like old-fashioned print defamation cases, and courts still want to see proof of damage to reputation. If the plaintiff (the person bringing suit) cannot prove that his or her reputation was damaged, then the court usually will dismiss the case, unless the defamatory statement is a per se statement. A per se statement is a communication that is very obviously damaging. For example, if someone wrote that the plaintiff has a sexually transmitted disease, the court might decide that damages are inferred even if not proven. The outcome of a defamation case is also affected by whether or not the person claiming defamation is a public figure. Courts rarely decide that a public figure has been defamed because a public figure is considered a “fair target” for defamatory statements. To be awarded damages in a defamation case, a public figure must prove that a defamatory statement was not only damaging, but that it was made with malicious intent. This private vs. public distinction figured in the very first Twibel trial in 2014. The attorney for

The National Labor Relations Act, which generally governs relations between unions and employers, says that employees of private companies or other entities have the right to communicate with each other about the terms and conditions of their employment. The law describes such communications as “protected concerted activity”; “concerted” refers to employees communicating with each other about the workplace. (Government employees have similar rights because of their right to association under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.) Even if your communications do not involve the immediate presence of another employee, they are considered to be “concerted.” This means that the law can actually protect items of clothing that convey

deceased musician Kurt Cobain’s estate brought a defamation suit against Courtney Love, Cobain’s spouse. In that case, the judge determined that Cobain’s estate attorney was a public figure. The judge’s determination meant that the attorney had to prove Love’s defamatory statement was made “with actual malice, meaning that she intentionally made a false statement, knowing it was false, or that she acted without regard to its truth or falsity. The jury determined that Love had not made the statement “with actual malice,” but if she had made the same statement about a private figure, the jury may well have decided against Love. Can I be held liable for statements I make on anonymous review sites like Yelp and Angie’s List? Yes. Online communication suits also concern online reviews attached to products and services reviewed on the Internet through sites like Yelp, Citisearch, and Angie’s List. However, you would have to make a false statement of fact, not opinion. Defamation lawsuits must be about false statements of fact. In one of the first cases of this type (Dietz v. Perez), a Virginia contractor filed a $750,000 defamation lawsuit against a blogger. Through Angie’s List, the blogger had not only accused the contractor of poor work, but also of trespassing and stealing. The blogger filed a countersuit, also alleging defamation.

a message, even if you are not speaking or writing to other employees about the message on the shirt. ■ So, exactly what kinds of communications does this law protect? This right is not unlimited, however. For example, if the employer reasonably believes that the communication would harm the company’s relationship with its customers or its public image, then the employer may restrict employees’ communications. In one recent court decision, the court approved an employer’s decision not to allow workers who interacted with customers to wear shirts that suggested the workers were prisoners of the company. The court acknowledged that such shirts could hurt the company’s relationship with its customers. ■ Can a worker wear a

At trial, the jury decided that both sides had defamed each other, but neither was awarded damages. Eventually, the blogger took down the scathing review. In the court’s ruling, the judge wrote that it was not his job to rule on free speech, but that the blogger’s actions had endangered people’s ability to write freely in online reviews: “If you want to chill free speech, keep it up, because eventually one of these companies is going to win big That will chill free speech, when somebody is hit with a huge monetary verdict.” This “Law You Can Use” column was provided by the Ohio State Bar Association.

union button or shirt or while at work? Protected concerted activity generally would include expressing support for a union or communicating about matters relating to a union. ■ How do employees and employers know which communications are allowed and which are not? It is difficult to determine when an employer may reasonably restrict communications, and it can also be difficult for employees to know whether communication is about the terms and conditions of employment or simply an attack on the employer or another employee. For example, attacking a supervisor on Facebook probably would not be protected concerted activity if the communication does not relate to some aspect of the employment relationship. However, courts

If you are an employee, use common sense about what you are communicating and recognize that your right to communicate is not unlimited. If you are an employer, it is wise to consult with your lawyer before taking action against an employee for acts that involve communication. ■ Does my employer have to stop certain communications? Yes. Employees have a right

to work in an environment free of discrimination based on any protected class. Therefore, your employer must take reasonable measures to stop any communications that discriminate based on race, national origin, gender, age, religion or disability. Your employer might be found to be creating an unlawful hostile work environment for failing to stop such communications. This “Law You Can Use” column was provided by the Ohio State Bar Association.

Clinical trials begin for vaccine candidate to prevent Zika infection Zika virus infection during pregnancy can cause a serious birth defect called microcephaly, as well as other severe fetal defects of the brain and other organs.

FROM THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH

CANSTOCK

he National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, has launched a clinical trial of a vaccine candidate intended to prevent Zika virus infection. The early-stage study will evaluate the experimental vaccine’s safety and ability to generate an immune system response in participants. At least 80 healthy volunteers ages 18-35 years at three study sites in the United States, including the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Md., are expected to participate in the trial. Scientists at NIAID’s Vaccine Research Center (VRC) developed the investigational vaccine — called the NIAID Zika virus investigational DNA vaccine — earlier this year. The study is part of the U.S. government response to the ongoing outbreak of Zika virus in the Americas. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 50 countries and territories have active Zika virus transmission. In the United States and its territories, more than 6,400 Zika cases have been reported. Although Zika infections are usually asymptomatic, some people experience mild illness lasting about a week. However, Zika virus infection during pregnancy can cause a serious birth defect called microcephaly, as well as other severe fetal defects of the brain and other organs. There are no vaccines or specific therapeutics to prevent or treat Zika virus disease. “A safe and effective vaccine to prevent Zika virus infection and the devastating birth defects it causes is a

public health imperative,” said NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. “NIAID worked expeditiously to ready a vaccine candidate, and results in animal testing have been very encouraging. We are pleased that we are now able to proceed with this initial study in people. Although it will take some time before a vaccine against Zika is commercially available, the launch of this study is an important step forward.” The NIAID Zika virus investigational DNA vaccine approach is similar to that used for another investigational vaccine developed by NIAID for West Nile virus. That vaccine candidate was found to be safe and induced an immune response when tested in a Phase 1 clinical trial. The investigational Zika vaccine

includes a small, circular piece of DNA — called a plasmid — that scientists engineered to contain genes that code for proteins of the Zika virus. When the vaccine is injected into the arm muscle, cells read the genes and make Zika virus proteins, which self-assemble into virus-like particles. The body mounts an immune response to these particles, including neutralizing antibodies and T cells. DNA vaccines do not contain infectious material — so they cannot cause a vaccinated individual to become infected with Zika — and have been shown to be safe in previous clinical trials for other diseases. “A team of scientists here at NIAID worked tirelessly to rapidly develop this vaccine for clinical testing,” said John

Mascola, M.D., director of NIAID’s VRC. “DNA or gene-based vaccines induce antibodies, but they also can activate the cell-mediated immune response, which ultimately could yield strong and durable protection against disease.” The Phase 1 clinical trial, called VRC 319, is led by Julie E. Ledgerwood, D.O., chief of the VRC’s clinical trials program. Volunteers will be divided randomly into four study groups of 20 people each. After enrollment, all participants will receive a vaccination at their first visit via a needle-free injector that pushes the vaccine fluid into the arm muscle. Half of the participants will receive one additional vaccination eight weeks or 12 weeks later. The remaining participants will receive two additional vaccinations: one group of 20 participants will receive a second vaccine at week four and a third at week eight; the other group of 20 participants will receive a second vaccine at week four and a third at week 20. All participants will receive the same dose at each vaccination. Following each vaccination, participants will remain at the study site for observation for a minimum of 30 minutes so clinicians can monitor for any adverse

reactions. Participants will receive a diary card to use at home to record their temperature and any symptoms for seven days following each vaccination. All participants will return for follow-up visits within a 44-week time period after the first vaccination so investigators can monitor their health to determine if the vaccine is safe. The study team will review patient data daily and weekly to monitor safety. A Protocol Safety Review Team will also conduct formal interim safety reviews. At follow-up visits, investigators will also take blood samples for laboratory testing to measure the immune response to the vaccine. Participants will be asked to return for two follow-up visits at 18 months and two years following the initial vaccination so investigators can obtain additional blood samples to assess the durability of the immune response. Other study sites include the Center for Vaccine Development at the University of Maryland School of Medicine’s Institute for Global Health in Baltimore, and Emory University in Atlanta. Initial safety and immunogenicity data from the Phase 1 trial are expected by January 2017. If results show a favorable safety profile and immune response, NIAID plans to initiate a Phase 2 trial in Zika-endemic countries in early 2017. For more information about the early-stage clinical trial, see Questions and Answers: Phase 1 Clinical Trial of NIAID Zika Virus Investigational DNA Vaccine, and ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier NCT02840487).

Dollar Tree founder gives Cleveland Clinic $2 million for lung-transplant research MACON BROCK, ONE OF THE ORIGINAL A FOUNDERS OF DOLLAR TREE, RECEIVED $2 million gift by Macon and Joan Brock has established The Macon and Joan Brock Endowed Chair, which will support lung transplant research and education. Marie Budev, D.O., MPH, is the inaugural chair holder. Macon Brock, one of the original founders of Dollar Tree, received a double lung transplant at Cleveland Clinic in September 2014 due to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a condition that causes scarring of the lungs. “I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Budev and the entire team at Cleveland Clinic, including the post-operation team that cared for me after a complication put me back in the hospital for several months. Without them, I’m not sure I would have pulled through,” he said. “Transplantation is not something most people think about until, unfortunately, they have to, but it affects a person and their family in such a profound way, essentially offering a second chance at life. It’s my hope and my wife’s that through this gift, other

patients in similar situations will helped and given the same second chance that I was.” Brock co-founded Dollar Tree in 1986 and has been its chairman since September 2001. He served as its chief executive officer from 1993 to 2003 and president from 1986 to 2001. He also sits on several other boards. He served as a captain in the United States Marine Corps and was a special agent for U.S. Naval Intelligence before entering the retail business. He holds a B.A. degree from Randolph-Macon College. “The Brock family has seen firsthand the impact of organ donation and transplantation,” said Budev. “There is still so much to discover in the areas of pulmonary medicine and lung transplantation, and we are so thankful to have the Brocks’ support and dedication to the field. Their generosity will undoubtedly touch countless lives.” Budev is the medical director of the Cleveland Clinic’s Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Program, one of the largest programs of its kind in the

Averaging around 100 lung transplants per year, Cleveland Clinic is a national leader in lung transplant, both in terms of patient volumes and successful outcomes. The transplant program has established a reputation for accepting and transplanting challenging, complex patients and still holds the world record for most lung transplants in a single year. Budev treats all types of end-stage lung disease, including congenital heart-lung diseases, interstitial lung disease, COPD and pulmonary hyperten-

sion. Her research has focused on antibody mediated rejection and selection of lung transplant candidates. There are currently about 1,400 people in the U.S. waiting for a lung transplant. This is the second chair to be endowed to the Respiratory Institute’s lung transplant program in the last year. The other, the Buoncore Family Endowed Chair in Lung Transplantation, is held by Atul Mehta, M.D. Cleveland Clinic’s Respiratory Institute is ranked number three by U.S. News & World Report. Serving nearly 90,000 patients annually, the Respiratory Institute attracts patients from all over the world who seek a definitive diagnosis and cuttingedge treatment, often for a rare or complex lung disorder. With more than 100 pulmonologists, allergists/immunologists and critical care specialists, the Respiratory Institute diagnoses and treats a wide range of lung, allergy and breathing-related conditions.

YSU lectures to focus on environmental issues

Stambaugh Auditorium will present the classic silent horror film “Nosferatu” at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 23. The film will feature live organ accompaniment by Peter Richard Conte. Shot in 1921 and released theatrically in 1922, “Nosferatu” was directed by F.W. Murnau. The film stars Max Schreck, Gustav von Wangenheim, and Greta Schroder. Because Murnau was unable to attain the rights to Bram Stoker’s version of “Dracula,” the names of characters were changed, but the story’s premise remained the same. After Stoker’s family successfully sued, a ruling called for all copies of the film to be destroyed, but some managed to survive. Peter Richard Conte is the Grand Court Organist of the Wanamaker Organ in Macy’s located at City Center, Philadelphia, where he performs twice daily, six days a week. The Wanamaker Organ is a six-manual, 28,000 pipe instrument which is the largest fully functioning musical instrument in the world. Conte became the Grand Court Organist in 1989 and is only the fourth person to hold the title since the organ was first played in 1911. He previously performed at Stambaugh Auditorium with silent film accompaniment in 2014 for “Metropolis’ and 2015 for Charlie Chaplin’s “The Kid.” Although the film is free, tickets are required. For more information or for tickets, visit stambaughauditorium.com or call the Florence and Ward Beecher Box Office at Stambaugh Auditorium at 330-2590555. The box office is open 9 a.m.-6 p,m,.

Editor’s note: Emmalee C. Torisk originally wrote the following article. Updates and additions are by the Metro Monthly staff. oungstown was once known primarily for steel: for its robust industry and for its decimating decline. In recent decades, though, the city has forged a new identity, an identity based on a mixture of old and new, of business and culture. Through this process, specific areas of the city have emerged as cohesive centers, or districts, of artistic expression and culture: among these are downtown Youngstown, Mahoning Avenue (or the Mahoning Commons), Wick Avenue and the North Side of Youngstown. While some cultural districts are well-established, others are more recent and still finding their audience. Join Metro Monthly as we explore these areas and see what they have to offer.

DOWNTOWN DISTRICT

Restaurants, apartments, cafes redefine downtown

UNIVERSITY DISTRICT

Steel era’s wealth created legacy institutions on Wick

y the late 19th century, Wick Avenue could be described as Youngstown’s ”Millionaire’s Row.” Once the city began to stretch beyond its downtown, Youngstown’s most established families moved north of the business district and began building lavish mansions on Wick Avenue – named for one of the city’s most important early families – and adjacent streets. Over the years, other cultural structures sprung up along the street, including churches, museums and several YSU buildings. Today, Wick Avenue is a mix of old and new, of private and public institutions. Notable facilities include the following:

istorically, the downtown area – with its blocks of banks, government buildings, theaters, stores, restaurants and hotels – functioned as the center of community and life in Youngstown. However, following the collapse of the steel industry, and in the decades afterward, only traces and remnants of the downtown’s former life remained. In recent years, though, downtown Youngstown has experienced strong signs of renewal, thanks to new apartments, emerging entertainment venues, and other businesses popping up and occupying once-vacant storefronts and structures. More established, time-honored destinations have also benefited from this new flood of traffic to downtown, which is located just south of the YSU campus. In addition, a number of restaurants and bars have opened in recent years after the adoption of an entertainment-district designation. Covelli Centre. 229 E.

Remembering Youngstown

Little Steel Strike

Changing shifts at Youngstown Plant: June 26, 1937

Youngstown steelworkers return to work during Little Steel Strike. Original caption: ‘Tired but happy after a 12-hour shift of refiring the huge furnaces of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company, these workers are leaving the plant after work had resumed. Governor Davey, of Ohio, promised protection to all who had returned to work.’ Image originally produced by Acme in 1937. Acquired by Metro Monthly in 2016. ■ Editor’s note: “Remembering Youngstown: Tales from the Mahoning Valley” includes a history of the Little Steel Strike. The following is excerpted from Wikipedia.

he Little Steel strike was a 1937 labor strike by the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) and its branch the Steel Workers Organizing Committee (SWOC), against a number of smaller steel producing companies, principally Republic Steel, Inland Steel, and Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co. The strike affected a total of 30 different mills belonging to the three companies, which employed 80,000 workers. The strike, which was one of the most violent labor disputes of the 1930s, ended without the strikers achieving their principal goal, recognition by the companies of the union as the bargaining agent for the workers. ¶ On March 13, 1937, U.S. Steel Corp. (“Big Steel”) signed a historic collective bargaining agreement with SWOC. The agreement provided for a standard pay scale, an 8-hour work day, and time-and-a-half for overtime. Although “Big Steel” signed the deal, there were smaller companies that refused to sign. ¶ On March 30, 1937, SWOC proposed an agreement similar to the one with U.S. Steel to Little Steel. The proposal sought an eighthour work day, a 40-hour work week, overtime pay, a $5-per-day minimum wage, paid

vacations, health and safety standards, seniority, and procedures for resolving grievances. Rather than sign, Little Steel representatives met, debated, dragged their feet, sent spies to infiltrate SWOC, and literally prepared for battle. The companies bought poison gas and other weapons, hired private police, donated weapons to official law enforcement, encouraged law enforcement to hire more deputies, stocked their plants with food and bedding, installed search lights and barbed wire, and fired hundreds of union workers. ¶ The Little Steel Strike started on May 26, 1937 when the U.S. economy was just starting to recover from the Great Depression. Steel workers, represented by the CIO as well as the SWOC participated in protests ranging from sit-ins to picket lines. The workers wanted better wages, benefits, and working conditions. Within days of SWOC’s authorization of the strike, 67,000 workers were off the job and the scattered violence that began to erupt was a harbinger of more dire things to come. ¶ The strike is characterized as one of the most violent strikes of the 1930s, with thousands of strikers arrested, 300 injured and 18 dead. The Little Steel companies eventually defeated the strike, which lasted just over five months. However, groundwork for the unionization of the Little Steel industry was set and the goal to unionize Little Steel occurred five years later, in 1942, as World War II began to ramp up.
