Today in Labor History

July 7, 1882
Striking New York longshoremen meet to discuss ways to keep new immigrants from scabbing. They were successful, at least for a time.

Several Teamster employers have been guilty of such pay disparity, including XPO Logistics, where CEO Bradley Jacobs’ pay exceed workers 361:1; Republic Services Group, where CEO Donald Slager’s pay is 183 times higher than the average worker; and UNFI, whose CEO Steven Spinner earns 96 times the company’s median worker… Teamster.org
