Today in Labor History August 21, 1920: Ongoing violence by coal operators and their paid goons in the southern coalfields of West Virginia led to a three-hour gun battle between striking miners and guards that left six dead. 500 Federal troops were sent in not only to quell the fighting, but to ensure that scabs were able to get to and from the mines. A General Strike was threatened if the troops did not cease their strikebreaking activities. This was just 3 months after the Matewan Massacre, in which the miners drove out the seemingly invincible Baldwin-Felts private police force, with the help of their ally, Sheriff Sid Hatfield. 1 year later, Sheriff Hatfield was gunned down on the steps of the courthouse by surviving members of the Baldwin-Felts Agency. News spread and miners began arming themselves, leading to the Battle of Blair Mountain, the largest armed insurrection since the Civil War and the largest labor uprising in U.S. history. Over 100 people were killed in the 5-day battle, including 3 army soldiers and up to 20 Baldwin-Felts detectives. Nearly 1,000 people were arrested. 1 million rounds were fired. And the government dropped bombs from aircraft on the miners, only the second time in history that the government bombed its own citizens (the first being the pogrom against African American residents of Tulsa, during the so-called Tulsa Riots).

The Battle of Blair Mountain is depicted in Storming Heaven (Denise Giardina, 1987), Blair Mountain (Jonathan Lynn, 2006), and Carla Rising (Topper Sherwood, 2015). And the Matewan Massacre is brilliantly portrayed in John Sayles’s film, “Matewan.”

Glaubwürdigkeit verlangt Aufarbeitung

„SPD, Grüne und Union vollziehen eine vorsichtige Kehrtwende in der Israel-Politik. Glaubwürdig ist das nur, wenn sie jetzt Verantwortung für ihre Repression der Palästina-Solidarität übernehmen.
[…]
Es ist legitim, richtig und wünschenswert, eigene Positionen zu hinterfragen. Die Hoffnung auf politischen Wandel beruht darauf. Aber wer 22 Monate lang Repressionen duldet, mitträgt oder sogar aktiv organisiert und dann plötzlich erkennt, dass diejenigen, die man mundtot machen wollte, doch recht hatten, der muss sich seine Glaubwürdigkeit erst wieder erarbeiten.“

JACOBIN Magazin · Glaubwürdigkeit verlangt AufarbeitungSPD, Grüne und Union vollziehen eine vorsichtige Kehrtwende in der Israel-Politik. Glaubwürdig ist das nur, wenn sie jetzt Verantwortung für ihre Repression der Palästina-Solidarität übernehmen.

The government's plan was to end the strike by taking away worker rights and giving everyhing to the corporation. Like at Christmas, they achieved no "peace", only longer-lasting strikes with no leverage for the workers. This is like Trump claiming he will achieve peace in Ukraine by giving away Ukraine's sovereignty, land, and resources to Russia.

The Union's plan? Achieve a negotiated contract swiftly and concisely by leveraging thr worker's charter rights to collective bargaining, legally disrupting industry to tell them that unpaid work is NOT OKAY.

Which plan achieved results? You guessed it. Power of the people achives reaults. Suppression of the people by power will only be toppled eventually.

Today in Labor History August 19, 1916: Strikebreakers attacked and beat picketing IWW strikers in Everett, Washington. The police refused to intervene, claiming it was federal jurisdiction. However, when the strikers retaliated, they arrested the strikers. Vigilante attacks on IWW picketers and speakers escalated and continued for months. In October, vigilantes forced many of the strikers to run a gauntlet, violently beating them in the process. The brutality culminated in the Everett massacre on November 5, when Wobblies (IWW members) sailed over from Seattle to support the strikers. The sheriff called out to them as they docked, “Who is your leader?” And the Wobblies yelled back, “We all are!” The sheriff told them they couldn’t dock. One of the Wobblies said, “Like hell we can’t!” And then a mob of over 200 vigilantes opened fire on them. As a result, seven died and 50 were wounded. John Dos Passos portrays these events in his USA Trilogy.

Today in Labor History August 19, 1909: The first edition of the IWW’s The Little Red Songbook was published in Spokane, WA. The book’s subtitle is “Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent.” Between 1909 and 1995, the Wobblies printed 36 editions. The songbook always includes songs by Joe Hill, Ralph Chaplin, T-Bone Slim, and Haywire Mac. Most editions contained many of the best-known labor songs, like "The Internationale," "The Preacher and the Slave," and "Solidarity Forever." Haywire Mac, composer of the “Big Rock Candy Mountain” and “Hallelujah I’m a Bum,” was one of the original members of the IWW band, in Spokane, in 1907. Mac later participated in the anarchist Magonista Revolution in Baja California, helping to capture and occupy Tijuana. He eventually settled down in San Francisco, where he hosted working-class radio and television programs.

The Air Canada strike situation is an unmitigated disgrace.

First of all, getting no pay for mandatory work while the plane is on the ground is fucking insane, and it apparently being industry standard practice (which I had no idea of before today) makes it so much worse. Unions explicitly agreeing to it in the past doesn't make that any less true; I dearly hope those unions had damn good reasons at the time, because any union worth its salt would know that this is textbook wage theft, and sends the message that this type of labour is not valuable. A message that is, of course, a lie, because if it wasn't valuable it wouldn't be mandatory!

The other prong of this hellscape is that forcing people back to work should never be allowed, in any industry, in any context. Causing economic damage is precisely the purpose of strikes; that's what motivates the company to give the workers what they want. If the company is so big and central to the economy that a strike will significantly damage the entire economy, then that's not a reason to force people back to work; it's a reason to break up the company!

Air Canada suspends restart plans after union defies return to work order

The Canada Industrial Relations Board ordered airline staff back to work by 2 p.m. Sunday after the government intervened and Air Canada said it planned to resume flights Sunday evening.

#Canada's largest #airline now says it will resume flights Monday evening. #AirCanada said in a statement that the union "illegally directed its flight attendant members to defy a direction from the Canadian Industrial Relations Board."

"Our members are not going back to work," #CanadianUnionOfPublicEmployees national president Mark Hancock said outside Toronto's Pearson International Airport. "We are saying no."

Danke, @hal2022

Bleibt halt schade, dass der geschätzte @chrisstoecker immer wieder nur das gleiche Feindbild "die #Union" bedient - und damit immer wieder nur die eigene Blase bedient. Andere Stimmen wie z.B. der Fraktionsvize Andreas #Jung oder die Erfolge in NRW und SH kommen nicht vor. Parteipolitischer #Dualismus ist halt nicht nur flach, sondern schadet auch. Schade, denn ich lese ihn eigentlich gerne. stuttgarter-zeitung.de/inhalt.
