Amalgamated Meat Cutters

The Employers' Association helped break the strike by hiring thousands of unemployed African-American workers as scabs.On August 18, 1904, when several black cattle herders chased stray stock outside the city's main stockyards, angry union members surrounded them and pelted the men with stones.Roughly 150 policemen formed a cordon to protect the strikebreakers, and angry union members replied with rocks and gunfire.[4] Two black strikebreakers were lynched as a result of the strike: Jake Brooks in Oklahoma City on January 14, 1922,[5] and Fred Rouse in Fort Worth, Texas.In 1979, the AMCBW merged with the Retail Clerks International Union to form the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW).
