The Republican Party viewed the New Deal-era version of organized labor as an increasingly subversive one, and as early as FDR/Dewey in '44, there were at least whispers of Communism, liberalism, and labor working together to "subvert" the contitution. Most on the Right thought he was far too soft on Communism. By '48, strikes were rampant, and I think labor took on a pretty bad image.
Um, I forgot why we we're talking about Communism.....
