MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 31, 1927: Birth of Cesar Chavez. In 1965, Chavez led farm workers in California on their first grape boycott. The nationwide protest lasted five years and ended with the first union contract for U.S. farm workers outside of Hawaii. In 1966, Chavez’s organization officially became the United Farm Workers. Chavez was inspired by the nonviolent civil disobedience of Gandhi. In addition to strikes, boycotts and pickets, he was famous for going on hunger strikes. Later he became infatuated with the religious cult, Synanon. He used Synanon’s “game” to punish union members and enforce conformity. Chavez also supported the brutal Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos. This alienated Filipino members of the union, as well as many of the religious organizations that had supported the UFW.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CesarChavez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CesarChavez</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FarmWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FarmWorkers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ufw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ufw</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/chicano" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chicano</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mexicanamerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mexicanamerican</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strike</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/boycot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boycot</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/filipino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>filipino</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hungerstrike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hungerstrike</span></a></p>
MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 17, 1966: 100 striking Mexican American and Filipino farmworkers marched from Delano, California to Sacramento to pressure the growers and the state government to answer their demands for better working conditions and higher wages, which were, at the time, below the federal minimum wage. By the time the marchers arrived, on Easter Sunday, April 11, the crowd had grown to 10,000 protesters and their supporters. A few months later, the two unions that represented them, the National Farm Workers Association, led by César Chávez, and the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee, joined to form the United Farm Workers. The strike was launched on September 8, 1965, by Filipino grape pickers. Mexicans were initially hired as scabs. So, Filipino strike leader Larry Itliong approached Cesar Chavez to get the support of the National Farm Workers Association, and on September 16, 1965, the Mexican farm workers joined the strike. During the strike, the growers and their vigilantes would physically assault the workers and drive their cars and trucks into the picket lines. They also sprayed strikers with pesticides. The strikers persevered nonviolently. They went to the Oakland docks and convinced the longshore workers to support them by refusing to load grapes. This resulted in the spoilage of 1,000 ten-ton cases of grapes. The success of this tactic led to the decision to launch a national grape boycott, which would ultimately help them win the struggle against the growers.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cesarchavez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cesarchavez</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ufw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ufw</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/delano" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>delano</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/grapestrike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grapestrike</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mexican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mexican</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/filipino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>filipino</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strike</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/boycott" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boycott</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>protest</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/scab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scab</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farmworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>farmworkers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/vigilantes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vigilantes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/larryitliong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>larryitliong</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sacramento" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sacramento</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History February 24, 1919: U.S. Congress passed a new Child Labor law. However, in 1924, the courts declared it unconstitutional. A similar law passed in 1917. The Supreme Court ruled that one unconstitutional, too. It wasn’t until the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act that modern child labor laws were enforced in the U.S. However, the law never banned child labor in agriculture. Consequently, 500,000 children pick roughly 25% of all the food harvested in the U.S. They often still work 10 or more hours a day. They are exposed to dangerous pesticides and die at a rate five times higher than kids in other industries. Barely half the kids working in agriculture ever finish high school.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>children</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/childlabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>childlabor</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/childabuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>childabuse</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farmworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>farmworkers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workplacedeath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workplacedeath</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workplaceinjury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workplaceinjury</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/school" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>school</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SCOTUS</span></a></p>

It has also coursed through dairy farms in 16 states since last March, according to the USDA, reducing milk production. More than 60 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farmworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>farmworkers</span></a> on both dairy and poultry farms have been infected since then, all of whom recovered.</p><p>"But one Louisiana resident died last month after contracting bird flu from a backyard flock.

DoomsdaysCW<p>As the Trump admin deletes online data, scientists and digital librarians rush to save it</p><p>The race is on to save public information about health and science before Trump makes it disappear</p><p>"Deleting gobs of public data/resources as well is the digital equivalent of book burning."</p><p>By Carlyn Zwarenstein <br>Published February 4, 2025 11:46AM (EST)<br>Updated February 5, 2025 8:34PM (EST) </p><p>"Orders from the Trump administration affecting science and health in the United States — and from there, the world — are coming thick and fast, affecting a myriad of institutional and personal decisions that depend on accurate information provided by the U.S. government. This ranges from websites disappearing to the prohibition of dictionary words from federal scientist research papers. Now researchers and data nerds are rushing to preserve this vital information before it’s lost.</p><p>"Meanwhile, many public communications have been paused as well. For the first time in sixty years, the federal health agency, the Centers for Disease Control (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CDC</span></a>), has stopped its own publications, including the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MMWR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MMWR</span></a>). This comes on top of a communications gag order preventing its scientists from sharing any new findings — from new insights in cancer treatment to potential new pandemics like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ebola" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ebola</span></a> — with the public.</p><p>"Additionally, it orders that a list of specific terms be removed from any CDC research manuscript being submitted to, already being considered, or already in press by any scientific or medical journal, with publication paused or retracted until the terms are scrubbed from the work. The terms in question are: Gender, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transgender</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PregnantPerson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PregnantPerson</span></a>, pregnant people, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LGBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBT</span></a>, transsexual, non-binary, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nonbinary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nonbinary</span></a>, assigned male at birth, assigned female at birth, biologically male, biologically female.</p><p>"A quick search by Salon of PubMed, the National Institutes of Health-run database of academic biomedical and health publications as well as related disciplines like life sciences and chemical sciences, shows that it currently contains 145,340 pages’ worth of results (1,453,391individual publications) featuring the term '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a>,' and 5,613 publications with the term '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transexual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transexual</span></a>,' with papers dating back to 1903.</p><p>"Since most medical science papers report demographic details, excluding papers that report this information or use this language would mean un-publishing exciting new findings on cancer treatment, or, say, vital information about <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/H5N1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>H5N1</span></a> transmission among American <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farmworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>farmworkers</span></a> or the ongoing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tuberculosis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tuberculosis</span></a> outbreak in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KansasCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KansasCity</span></a> area. The exact implications of President Trump’s orders are not entirely clear, so it’s hard to say exactly what may not be published as a result, but pre-emptive self-censorship is also likely. On Monday, some of the pages had already been restored, according to the New York Times, underscoring the unpredictable status of some federal information.</p><p>"In the meantime, a general communications gag order bans any CDC scientist from submitting any new scientific findings to the public. As federally-funded health websites and webpages disappear in real time from the Internet, the race is on to preserve vital datasets and formerly public information.</p><p>"Charles Gaba, a health care policy data analyst and web developer, created links on his website to every mirrored copy of the CDC’s public facing web pages as they appear on the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InternetArchive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternetArchive</span></a>, a nearly 30-year-old non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the internet from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>censorship</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DataDecay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DataDecay</span></a>.</p><p>"'These pages and related files are both funded by taxpayers and specifically intended to be for the general public, after all,' Gaba told Salon. In quickly indexing every public-facing page on the CDC site in the nick of time, he anticipated what has happened over the past few days, although perhaps not the specifics of Trump’s Jan. 29 memo to all federal departments and agencies, outlining an executive order called '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendingWomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendingWomen</span></a>', that seems to have triggered the hasty scrubbing of federally-funded sites.</p><p>"Still, Gaba notes that both the former president’s campaign statements, and language in the policy playbook <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Project2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Project2025</span></a>, had promised to purge the federal government of 'anyone or anything' that they see as related to diversity, equity and inclusion, and of purging federal agencies of references and resources to the same."</p><p><a href="https://www.salon.com/2025/02/04/as-the-admin-deletes-online-data-scientists-and-digital-librarians-rush-to-save-it/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">salon.com/2025/02/04/as-the-ad</span><span class="invisible">min-deletes-online-data-scientists-and-digital-librarians-rush-to-save-it/</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Erasure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Erasure</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransRightsAreHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRightsAreHumanRights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransHistoryIsHumanHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransHistoryIsHumanHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BookBurning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookBurning</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrumpIsTryingToKillUsAllOff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpIsTryingToKillUsAllOff</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CharacteristicsOfFascism</span></a></p>
