Text above an image that says The weekend was a crazy leftist idea. In 1886 seven union members in Wisconsin died fighting for the 5-day and the 8-hour work day. The illustration is black and white, showing a large belted person in long sleeves poised with what looks to be a bloody club, as people stand in a group leaning back. The bad guy appears to be standing on someone

Wisconsin's governor had seven union members killed during what is now referred to as the Bay View Massacre. Thankfully the vast majority of people (some 14,000) went on to live beyond the strike.
