Just re-watched this today for the first time in 15 years. I was in 8th grade in Austin, Minnesota during the strike, so I remember the strike vaguely. Watching it, I was wondering if the Director tried to make a Pro-Union or an Anti-Union movie. Obviously, it had to be a Pro-Union movie - Correct? I'm not sure.This was my take on the movie - The Union Members almost became Cult-like during the strike - Not having any of their own ideas and blindly following those who were running things. Ray Rogers went out of his way to destroy Hormel and destroy Austin (And failing miserably - which he always does). The Hormel executives were shown as people who didn't have any fear of the strikers. They knew what they were doing was logically with what was going on in the industry at the time. The Strikers who didn't cross the line didn't because of fear of their Union brothers. The strikers that did cross did it for family. Not really a Pro-Union statement.Personally, the strike turned me into an Anti-Union Republican (Very rare still in Austin) - And I thank it for that.
