"A great people which had created a great civilization had become a nation of silent onlookers. They remained silent in the face of hate, in the face of brutality and in the face of mass murder.”

“Under the Hitler regime, I learned many things. “The most important thing that I learned under those tragic circumstances was that bigotry and hatred are not 'the most urgent problem.’ The most urgent, the most disgraceful, the most shameful and the most tragic problem is silence."

~ Rabbi Joachim Prinz at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, 1963, as quoted by Kevin Kruse

Tech workers react to UPS drivers landing a $170,000 a year package with a mixture of anger and admiration

https://www.businessinsider.nl/tech-workers-react-to-ups-drivers-landing-a-170000-a-year-package-with-a-mixture-of-anger-and-admiration/

The average UPS driver could get $170,000 in pay and benefits in five years' time in a new contract. Tech workers said the boost could make UPS driver pay competitive with tech salaries. Some tech workers said they feel "underpaid" in comparison and others pointed out UPS drivers have difficult jobs

A 10-day UPS strike could be the costliest in US history

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/07/14/economy/ups-strike-economic-impact/index.html

A 10-day UPS strike could cost the US economy $7.1 billion. That could make it the costliest work stoppage ever in US history, according to an estimate from a Michigan economic research firm that studies the costs of labor disruptions.

"When Valencia Gunder delivers food and other necessities to people impacted by disasters or people experiencing homelessness in Miami, it’s about helping with kindness — but she sees it as more than simply providing aid or dignity to those in need. For Gunder, it’s also the foundation of community action for climate and justice.

“'Every organizer should be a first responder,' says Gunder, a climate and economic justice organizer (who was featured on our 2021 Grist 50 list). “Now, after you done fed everybody and folks are somewhat back to their resilient space, [then] we can start to do the advocacy again.”

Ricardo Levins Morales poster catalog, p441 "Child Labor USA"

Child labor, nominally banned in the USA in the early 20th century, is one of many ills making a comeback in the face of a weakened labor movement. This poster, originally released by Northland Poster Collective in the late 1980’s, explains some of the history.

"And last week, the Republican Party made clear its decision to continue down that path, shedding all pretense of caring about young voters. A 2024 budget proposal released by the Republican Study Committee sets out the party’s priorities: Make the next generation work longer, and essentially guarantee them an unlivable planet."
