Today in Labor History September 1, 1880: The utopian communistic Oneida Community ended after 32 years. The Community was founded by John Humphrey Noyes and his followers in 1848 near Oneida, New York. They believed that Jesus had already returned in AD 70, allowing them to bring about Jesus's millennial kingdom themselves. The Community practiced communalism (holding all property and possessions in common). They also practiced complex marriage, where 3 or more people could enter into the same marriage, and male sexual continence, where the male’s goal was to not ejaculate during sex. They were also one of the first groups in the U.S. to practice mutual criticism, to root out bad characteristics in people, something adopted by many later cults, and even by Cesar Chavez and the UFW under his leadership.

The Oneida Community has been portrayed in numerous works of fiction such as “Silken Strands,” by Rebecca May Hope (2019). “Assassination Vacation,” by Sarah Vowell (2005) and “Pagan House,” by David Flusfeder (2007).

Today in Labor History August 23, 1970: The Salad Bowl strike began. Led by Cesar Chavez and the UFW, it was the largest farm worker strike in U.S. history. The strike was not only a battle between farm workers and the large, corporate growers. In late September 1970, the UFW launched a consumer boycott of all lettuce which had not been picked by members of the United Farm Workers. Violence was widespread. In November, someone bombed a UFW regional office. In December, federal marshals arrested and jailed Chavez. Two days later, former Olympic gold medal decathlete Rafer Johnson and Ethel Kennedy, widow of Robert Kennedy visited him in jail. However, an anti-union mob attacked Kennedy and Johnson on the steps of the jail. Only the intervention of Salinas city cops and the Brown Berets prevent injury to the visitors and full-scale riot.
The turf war between the Teamsters and the UFW continued after the strike and grew increasingly violent. A UFW picketer was shot on August 3. And on August 9, five firebombs were thrown at UFW picket lines. Another two UFW members were shot on August 11, and a UFW picketer was shot to death on August 16, 1973. Chávez ultimately entered into talks with the Teamsters. On September 27, 1973, the Teamsters agreed to leave jurisdiction over farm field workers to the UFW.

I really like what I'm reading about #PresidentBiden pick to be his #2024PresidentialElection campaign manager. #JulieChavezRodriguez appears to have an excellent Curriculum Vitae; protester for change at a young age, campaign manager for #VPOTUS Harris when she successfully ran for Senate and she's the granddaughter of one of my hero's #CesarChavez

Definately like President Biden's choice!💯

Remembering #cesarchavez, tireless advocate for human & animal rights, on this 30th anniversary of his death.

“History will judge societies & governments — & their institutions — not by how big they are or how well they serve the rich & the powerful, but by how effectively they respond to the needs of the poor & the helpless.”

“We need in a special way to work twice as hard to make all people understand that animals are fellow creatures. We must protect them & love them as we love ourselves.”

The first principal of non-violent action is that of noncooperation with everything humiliating.
-- Cesar Chavez

#CesarChavez is also considered a heroic figure in the #Philippines and among #Filipinos which also contributed many people to the US field worker labor force in the 60s. Many do not know or perhaps do not wish to acknowledge things like his attitude against #UndocumentedWorkers:

@BeXX @rbreich Robert cares about low unemployment & a globalist labor pool. Can you figure out he's lying?
