Some of the things that companies did to stop labor unions was use scabs. Scabs were people that replaced the people in the labor unions on the job. The people in the labor unions would then be lose their job and have trouble feeding their families. Companies would also use black listing which was when companies would tell other companies of people who were involved in labor unions. Then the people who were black listed were not able to get jobs in the area, and would then be forced to move.
They also hired private security companies to harass union members. Some used their connections with the government to have troops come in and use superior force to breakup strikes.
