It is that awful anniversary again. 32 years ago today, twenty-five people died behind locked doors making cheap chicken tenders in HAMLET, NC.
This was NO ACCIDENT. They died b/c of calculated neglect.
Never again.

Looking forward to this conversation about the future of this crucial journal. @lawcha_org @SouthernLaborSA @labornotes @LaborOnline

Tomorrow is the 31st Anniversary of the HAMLET FIRE, where 25 people died behind locked doors and official neglect. Thoughts and prayers, but action too. Just this week, @indyweek reported NC remains the worst place to work in the US. @SouthernLaborSA

With this great @Harpers piece on the failure of #Amazon #unionization in #Bessemer, AL, we are right back to Eugene Genovese's theories on paternalism & hegemony:

Despite a constant barrage from cheap labor lobby, most Likely Voters don't buy bogus argument there is a "labor shortage" in the U.S. They say Americans will work for fair pay and decent working conditions, 54%-33%.

Awesome tribute to teaching from @Philadelphian91
Our first ode in @UrbanHistoryA The Metropole's Academic Ode series comes from @Philadelphian91, who expresses gratitude for teacher/mentor Dr. Larry Little -- particularly how Dr. Little modeled how "to comfortably teach difficult history" themetropole.blog/2021/02/03…

This Day in Labor History: January 29, 1834. President Andrew Jackson orders the U.S. military to suppress workers attacking each other over scarce jobs along the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal. Let's talk about the first time the US called out the military to crush labor!
