Today in Labor History August 27, 1934: 7,000 Filipino lettuce cutters and mainly white packing shed workers went on strike against the powerful Salinas Valley growers and shippers, demanding union recognition & improved wages and working conditions. Many of the white workers were Dust Bowl refugees. Most of the Filipino workers had immigrated as U.S. nationals, after the U.S. took over the Philippines, in the wake of the Spanish-American War. There was rampant persecution of Filipino workers in California. Laws prohibited Filipino women from immigrating to the U.S. and prevented Filipino men from consorting with Anglo women. The American Federation of Labor initially refused to recognize or support the Filipino Labor Union (FLU). Scabs and vigilantes viciously beat Filipino strikers and chased 800 out of the Salinas Valley at gunpoint. They also burned down a labor camp. Police arrested picketers and union leaders for violation of the Criminal Syndicalism laws (laws that prohibited advocating any change to the economic and political status quo). The FLU ultimately won a raise and union recognition. However, discrimination and racist violence against Filipinos continued.

Steinbeck wrote about the plight of Filipino migrant farmworkers in the Salinas Valley in a 1936 series of articles for the San Francisco News called “The Harvest of Gypsies,” which formed part of the basis for his novel, Grapes of Wrath. He said they were among the most discriminated, and best organized, ethnic group in the U.S. Their organizing, he went on to say, brought on terrorism against them by vigilantes and the government.

New-to-me Filipino word of the day: "lapirot", or "crumple." Usage: Wala siyang magawa, kaya niya nilapirot ang papel sa harapan niya. (He/she/they had nothing to do, so instead he/she/they crumpled the paper in front of him/her/them.)

I usually use the word "lukot" instead of "lapirot", but I guess "lapirot" sounds more, uh, deliberate an action. Both are onomatopoeic.

The General Strike - Pugon (2016) / Filipino blues rock

Youtube: youtu.be/PE2zGYX4QTw

This song was played in the ending credits of the horror film . The entire album slaps and it's all about the experiences and suffering of workers and labourers. I'll post the translation in a bit since there's a word count limit on Mastodon.

"When you flee with almost nothing, you need almost everything. So on this morning, her van is filled with the kinds of supplies people need when they've taken refuge in a church.

'These are food. Coolers with food. Gasoline. Cat food. And supplies. Bathroom supplies and we have water in the trunk.' "

Was sent this by @liztai youtu.be/bxH5Bsl3mMA It's variants (Penang / North vs Klang / South) but my Hokkien ass can understand a fair bit of Klang and almost nothing of Penang.

Also I still cannot believe there's all these words that I thought were Hokkien and were actually just Spanish words said in a Chinese accent 😭 Way to gaslight me, colonial past.

Na- @takam ko sa dukót (Binisaya).

If you grew up in a rice-eating culture, you'll probably know what wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorched_ri is. In |, they're called kaning tutong, or simply tutong.

During a visit to a marketplace, looking for local delicacies, I chanced upon this. The translation app said it's "crispy rice crust" , and in the , these are never commercially sold, and are the unwanted (?) by-product of cooking rice on a stove.

since the private uni where i work for wants each faculty to at least have one talk per school year, I decided that my topic to be about how to use and why use and over proprietary alternatives and why it's good for students ☺️

I've been watching series the A bit derivative but entertaining nonetheless.
My main reason, though, is it features a many, many times removed cousin of mine. In spite of being of and descent she sooo reminds of how my aunt looked when my aunt was younger.
