Milton Hershey, industrial chocolatier, built the town of Hershey, Pennsylvania. In 1937, 2500 permanent residents lived in the town and his factories employed about 2500 workers. In spite of his paternalism, the United Chocolate Workers, a CIO organization, held an 11 day strike in 1937 for better wages, work conditions, and re-hiring of fired activist employees.
