Hmm, I wish I knew more about labor movements in Utah. If you’re Mormon, it’s likely you know a neighbor or friend or member of your ward (parish) who can help get you a job through church connections. Lots of people put their missions on their resumes, it’s a code word that basically says “hire me, fellow Mormon!”

I think a lot of Mormon workers don’t agitate because their boss is part of their community, so when an outsider like Joe Hill comes around, it’s easy to rally the base and nip it in the bud.
