Today in Labor History

April 25, 1886
The New York Times declares the struggle for an eight-hour workday to be “un-American” and calls public demonstrations for the shorter hours “Labor disturbances brought about by foreigners.” Other publications declare that an eight-hour workday would bring about “loafing and gambling, rioting, debauchery and drunkenness.”   ~Labor Tribune

Postal Workers Saved the Election, Now Need Help to Stop Privatization
Posted On: Nov 17, 2020

The union announced its plans in a Nov. 12 video teleconference nationwide, urging viewers and their allies to stage pro-Postal Service rallies, including “virtual” rallies at post offices nationwide. Rally details and signups available from the American Postal Workers Union. And if you can’t make it to a rally—or even if you can—call Congress, too, says Postal Workers President Mark Dimondstein. The toll-free number is 833-924-0085. Peoples World
