Spies 6 is about the tension between sweatshop workers, unions, their bosses, corporations, union busters, and owners. For more information about labor issues during the early 20th century, check out these links:

Labor Spies and Union Busting:

Labor Spies - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_spies

Union Busting - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_busting

Yes I've read the entirety of those two wikipedia pages multiple times haha. I've actually had this union idea for a really long time, I think it's a unique setting and reading about real-life union busting has been very informative and intriguing.


If you find any more resources, please post them here.

TFF = SO. SAD. Poor fraus gettin all burnt up in their workplace. I hope the game is like that. It works like a sweatshop and the players are forced to work and work and work only to horribly die or get mutilated. Or just mass exiled or something.

Unions......I don't know about them. Well I do but I just think unions often get a little bit iffy. But what do I know. I like how the aspect of spies is being implemented there however.
