@jennyschuessler 14th Century plague labor shortage:“Statute of Laborers…enacted after outbreaks of the plague”, intended to ‘combat rising wages and to prevent the poaching of servants’ with the promise of better terms.” Maybe “raptus” did mean rape, but here metaphor for “poaching” labor?
@xanalter Yesterday sophisticates reading books looked down on working women watching TV—today those elites watch Netflix and working women read books? Hail to Ms. Hoover for enticing to read who can’t afford Netflix or smartphones.
Thank you to the always inspirational Wendy Thompson for your endorsement! Wendy is the former president of Local 235, a GM plant in Detroit that was subsequently taken over by American Axle. As a retiree, she is still on the front lines fighting for reform in the UAW.

.@vailkoyo was a leading delegate in the 2022 Constitutional Convention who fought to begin strike pay on Day 1, supported the increase to $500 (before it was reversed by Ray Curry and the Admin Caucus), supported the amendment to end tiers... (1/2)

Like Tucker, Mike was retaliated against by the Administration Caucus for daring to oppose them. We are extremely fortunate to have your ongoing guidance, Mike. Let's make history again this year by electing Shawn Fain & all UAW Members United candidates! (2/2)
Thank you for your endorsement, @motormikeman! We are indebted to lifelong activists like Mike who helped pave the way for @UAWD_Reform with the New Directions Movement in the 1980s. Mike was an assistant to Jerry Tucker, the last dissident elected to the UAW IEB in 1988 (1/2)

@JonahFurman@Julie_from_Ohio When l hired onto the assembly line at Ford Rouge, our Mustang seats were built in-house. Seats were later outsourced to a supplier, Lear. But this latest news is much bigger. When Ford builds batteries and/or EVs in Tenn. & KY, entire plants may be nonunion. UAW, fight or die.

As adoptive father of a Chinese child & retired auto worker, I know anti-Asian racism is high. But here is my article on calling the Chrysler superintendent who swung the bat that killed Vincent Chin an "auto worker." He was Chrysler management.
