Today in Labor History December 3, 1946: Women retail clerks at Hastings and Kahn’s launched the Oakland General Strike, the last General Strike to occur in the U.S. Other workers soon joined in. Overall, more than 100,000 workers participated in the 3-day Oakland General Strike, which was part of the 1945-1946 strike wave, the largest strike wave in US history. Over 5 million workers participated in the nationwide strike wave, including 225,000 UAW members, 174,000 electric workers struck, 750,000 steel workers, 250,000 railroad workers. There were several other General Strikes in 1946, too, including Lancaster, PA; Stamford, CT; Rochester, NY. In reaction to this strike wave, Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947, which severely restricted the powers and activities of unions. It also banned General Strikes, stripping away the most powerful tool workers had.

On the first day of the general strike, crowds gather in the streets, blocking traffic in downtown Oakland.

Flipping through some old photos. Here's the view from inside Casper's Hot Dog Stand in North Oakland.

This is probably shot on Ilford HP5 Plus with my Pentax LX. Processed and scanned at Underdog Labs in #Oakland.

#HotDog #BelieveInFilm

A black and white photograph. Two clean and simple rectangular tables jut into the space at a slightly oblique angle, Each is flanked by six round stools, all bolted to the floor. We are looking toward the corner of the restaurant, which is wrapped luxuriously in slightly scuffed and dirty windows from waist-level up. The camera is angled slightly downward. Afternoon light streams in through the windows, caressing a plastic lunch tray as it rests toward the end of the foremost table, holding a single wrapped hot dog and a stack of napkins. No humans are visible, but a line of cars waits at a traffic signal outside.

#SanFrancisco whistle protocols.

(If you’re willing to deal with Evil Jeff, there are many inexpensive whistles available, some with next day arrival.)

#sfba #oakland #resist #icewatch

San Francisco
Whistle Protocols
Form a crowd.
Stay Loud.
Protect each
other.
CODE I: ICE NEARBY
BLOW QUICKLY IN A
BROKEN RHYTHM:
PRE-PRE-PRE!
→ ALERTS THE
COMMUNITY THAT ICE
AGENTS ARE IN THE AREA.
NOISE
=
Visibility
WHY A WHISTLE ON THE
STREETS?
A SIMPLE TOOL FOR FAST
ALERTS.
• Loud
• Recognizable
• Impossible to Ignore
• Our Voices are Stronger
Together
CODE 2: CODE RED
BLOW THREE LONG
BLASTS:
PREEEE-PREEEE-PREEEE!
→ ICE IS DETAINING
SOMEONE.
