Who was blamed for labor strikes during the red scare?

During the Red Scare, labor strikes were often attributed to radical elements, particularly communist and socialist influences. Business leaders and government officials frequently blamed labor unions and their leaders for inciting unrest and promoting revolutionary ideas. This scapegoating was part of a broader effort to suppress dissent and stifle the labor movement, which was seen as a threat to American capitalism and social order. As a result, many workers faced increased scrutiny and repression during this period.
