Developed by James Rand, president of Remington Rand, in 1936 to break strikes. The formula included discrediting union leaders by calling them "agitators," threatening to move the plant, raising the banner of "law and order" to mobilise the community against the union, and actively engaging police in strike breaking activity, then organising a back to work movement of pro company employees. While the National Association of Manufacturers enthusiastically published the plan, the National labour Relations Board called it a battle plan for industrial war.
