Blacklists+AP

=__**Blacklists:**__=

Being on a blacklist was never a good thing to be on. In relation to today, they are like our unemployment list. people who couldn't find work or weren't able to have a job were put on these lists. Also if you were viewed negatively by society, if you started or were part of a strike, if you were fired, or if you were a troublemaker your name was put on these list, which enabled you from getting hired. If an employer saw your name on the list he would not hire you.

=**__Lockouts:__**=

When people would start a strike or if they were part of a union, companies would do a "lockout" which meant they would lock the workers out of the building or work place and would refuse to pay them.
