On this day in Labor History the year was 1981. That was the day that the “Cannery Murders” took place in Seattle, Washington. Two union organizers, Silme Domingo and Gene Viernes were gunned down at their labor hall. They were working to reform the canning industry for Local 37 of the International Longshoreman’s and Warehousemen’s Union.
