LA Taco has a story up about the "digital farmworkers strike" that was announced. UFW not involved. "We urge caution. Labor strikes carried out without the full understanding and consent of the workers involved can be harmful," says Friends of Field Workers

Today in Labor History July 8, 1968: A wildcat strike began in Detroit, Michigan against both the Chrysler Corporation and the UAW. At the time, the Dodge Hamtramck plant was 70% black, while the union local was dominated by older Polish-American workers. In response, black workers formed the new Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement. The Revolutionary Union Movement quickly spread to other Detroit plants: Ford Revolutionary Union Movement at the Ford River Rouge Plant, and Eldon Avenue Revolutionary Union Movement at the Chrysler Eldon Avenue plant. They united in 1969 in the League of Revolutionary Black Workers.

I just created a short reel/video about the one-day #strike yesterday at Austin's #vegan deli, Rebel Cheese. Workers accused the business of laying off 5 employees after they began organizing a union.
