March for Jobs and Freedom, On This Day in 1963

#OnThisDay Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” Speech in 1963 at the March for Jobs and Freedom in Washington D.C. to thousands of union members.

Lost to history is the emphasis on the March for the fight for jobs that paid a living wage and the role of the labor movement in organizing this massive demonstration.

Images above depict members of the International Ladies’ Garment Worker Union (ILGWU) packing Pennsylvania Station in New York City, standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial, heading on buses to Washington D.C., and marching through the capitol with ILGWU signs.

So, I’m at an event this weekend called Youth Traditional Song weekend! And I just attended a fantastic session called, “Music of Unions and the Labor Movement”. And I got a resounding cheer from the whole, very crowded room, when the session leader B.K. (posing with me here) mentioned the I.W.W.’s “little red book” and I held up my own copy that I got from my friend Dan at PM Press!! #union #unionforever #unionnow #solidarity #workersoftheworldunite #pmpress #iww #labormovement #songs #tradsong #traditionalsong #protestmusic #yts #transwoman #youthtradsong #youthtraditionalsong #yts2023 (at The Ashokan Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOZKO6vW7G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Sabbath for us all: the electric boogaloo

I’ve explored the concept of the sabbath in a way that discusses my history drawn straight from the heart of Judaism by way of Protestant Millerites of the 19th Century. But drawing on his original heritage - I myself am not Jewish nor a scholar of Judaism. But I can verify that often sabbaths were not just for a day but often for weeks or years. The concept of enforced rest is something that a number of cultural traditions and faiths are familiar with. In Judaism particularly, there was famously the debt sabbath where debts were written off every seven years. Something that seems inconceivable in our modern time where debts often last longer and have more impact.

Of the few debts I have incurred, with the awareness of luxury and frugality, is my HECs debt. My HECs debt with a large number of Australians has been indexed to 7% to match inflation but my wages or my opportunities have not had the same increase. I am angry of course, but resigned because there are more important things to discuss. But a debt sabbath would be nice. If money is made up and only the expression of debt then maybe, maybe I can have a debt sabbath too. I’m not earning enough to gain the benefits of paying it back, although I have previously. I will have to shoulder the burden of something I couldn’t even make decisions over. I wouldn’t call that democracy.

The proud labour tradition forged in this country and even in this city, has a very special relationship with rest. It's in the eight hour slogan - eight hours to work, to sleep and to rest. If you go to the Trades Hall in Sussex Street - now infested with Labor hacks but once the radical centre of movement that acknowledged work but also the ability for working people to better themselves and rest; with large libraries stocked with updated knowledge and spaces to collaborate. Such is needed again to have a place that is bustling and loud and places for learning so that our rest is life affirming. How far the mighty have fallen when Labor hacks and their MPs refuse to advocate for the same. The same politicians who approved the HECs debt indexation.

The union movement amongst others is the leader in advocating not just the conditions of work but also the conditions of our rest. Our social condition is determined by the momentum of collective action. It is not hard to pitch to most people that we need more rest. We already have a culture of long weekends and long lunches for rich people. But maybe the economy doesn’t need continuous growth, maybe a recession is what we need (even considering the negative harms of a slowdown). If we go where I think we are heading, it will be the second once in a lifetime recession in the last twenty years. Not a stellar record for the status quo.

The rest is often made in reference to productivity and employment but never in reference to people who actually need it. I think that when we demand rest, it is not because it will improve efficiency or help our economy but because it is fundamental to the wellbeing of communities and their need for regeneration. It is common to hear that laziness and rest are made at the expense of other peoples labour and inconvenience but that also obscures the reality it is needed for our continued existence on this planet. In fact, a slowdown needs to be distributed equitably for best results.

Douglass remarks that “power never concedes without demand. It never has and it never will.” Some sabbaths are not about stopping, but instead changing up and creating spaces for new ideas. And that is what we need to face in the next crisis prone era. A sabbath for us all is the one that we work for and demand.

Architects Are Starting to See Themselves as Workers — and Organizing Unions

Architects are recognizing the need to unionize as their roles evolve from artistic design to bureaucratic compliance and digital work. The BA Union, with IAMAW's support, is pioneering this move and negotiating industry's first collective contract. Historically seen as artisans, architects are now identifying as workers facing exploitation. Precarious conditions, long hours, and student debt have led to burnout among emerging architects. Unionization addresses these issues and allows collective bargaining for improved work environments. Despite challenges, the architecture industry must embrace unionization to protect workers and their craft. #Architecture #Unionization

Employees at Snøhetta, a global design firm, are seeking to form a union, aiming to become only the second private architecture firm in the US to unionize in almost a century. They're looking to join the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. The move follows a growing trend in the architecture industry for unionization, motivated by the desire to secure working conditions rather than addressing issues like low pay and long hours. Snøhetta workers are focused on winning their union election, with the broader goal of building political power in the long run. This initiative is part of a larger industrywide campaign led by Architectural Workers United.

This #AAPIHeritageMonth, we're celebrating a life of labor leader and civil rights activist, Philip Vera Cruz.

Known for his influential role in the Farm Worker Movement, Philip Vera Cruz led strikes and protests across California in the 1950s and 60s to demand fair wages and better working conditions for migrant workers. Vera Cruz was at the forefront of the Delano Grape Strike, where farmers in Coachella and Delano demanded grape growers pay their workers equal to the federal minimum wage.
