Without any apparent irony, tour guides at the Lower Eastside Tenement museum are trying to unionize and their bourgeois overlords are resisting such efforts. Labor disputes at not-for-profit groups do not often provide excellent educational opportunities, but this one sure does. I propose the museum hire new costumed performers dressed as Pinkerton guards and invite schools kids from throughout Manhattan to watch a reenactment of the Homestead Strike.
