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

Port Truckers Drive Home Difference Between Contractors & Employees
Posted On: Nov 18, 2014
Nov. 18, 2014 | OPINION | Daniel Linares, 58, hit the picket line last week at the ports. Why? I'm going to tell you why, because what's happening at the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports isn't just about economic injustice in a region with staggering income inequality, but there's a possibility it could put a damper on your holiday season. In the worse case scenario, port truck drivers will continue to strike, longshoremen will stop unloading cargo, more and more ships will clog the harbor, and the pickings will be slim at your favorite retailer. Read the source story. Related: California Gridlock - Labor disputed may end up costing billions.
