MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History April 20, 1948: United Auto Workers President Walter Reuther was shot and seriously wounded by would-be assassins while he was eating dinner. It permanently impaired his right arm. He survived and ultimately died in a plane crash in 1970 under suspicious circumstances. Reuther also survived an attempted kidnapping in April, 1938, while his brother Victor was shot and nearly killed by police in 1949. The UAW headquarters was also bombed in 1949. Both Walter and Victor were again nearly killed in a small private plane near Dulles Airport. Despite this history of attempts on his life, virtually no media addressed the possibility that his actual death may have been an assassination. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/walterreuther" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>walterreuther</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/uaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uaw</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/autoworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autoworkers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/assassination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>assassination</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>police</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bombing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bombing</span></a></p>

Tiota Sram<p>My union, the Wellesley Organized Academic Workers, is on strike. I'm not really participating, since I'm on leave due to the recent birth of my second child, but even just watching from the sidelines, it's an empowering experience. The admin is going to great lengths to try to break our strike, even though our demands are really quite reasonable. They haven't yet even offered us a contract that's as good as the status quo before we formed the union, which says a lot. They're inventing new, questionably-legal strike breaking tactics and are using international students as pawns to try to force the strike to end.</p><p>But we've gotten so much solidarity from tenure-track faculty, staff, and especially students (who are enduring a lot of scary stuff from the admin as classes have been reduced from full to half credit if the professor is striking). It's heartwarming to see that support, and to understand that collective action really is powerful.</p><p>Of course it's more difficult on a broader scale, but collective action is also the answer against Trump. Whether that's a May Day massive protest, or the #50501 movement slowly building up steam, or corporate boycotts shifting corporate interests (which would only ever be a short term win, but I'd take that right now), I'm hopeful that something is going to break through. Is going to turn hurt and scared and angry people into a mass that dictates change, because there already are plenty of us if we act with enough coordination.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USpol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a></p><p>Shout out to the United Auto Workers <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UAW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UAW</span></a> who we're a part of.
