On this day, 20 March 1911, women at the Singer factory in Clydebank went on strike, triggering a decade of class struggle known as “Red Clydeside.” That same year Frederick Taylor published The Principles of Scientific Management and his ideas were already influencing the managers at Singer. Each worker in the factory (pictured) repeatedly completed one task in one way. 15 women did nothing but polish the sewing machine cases, hour after hour, day after day. When three of these women were assigned other duties, the remaining 12 were expected to pick up their polishing. At the same time, their pay was reduced. The remaining polishers ceased polishing: on Monday 20 March, they determined to go on strike. Singer tolerated no trade unions among its unskilled workforce, but for some months a small group of militants had been secretly spreading the ideas of the Industrial Workers of Great Britain, part of the Industrial Workers of the World. They had spread a famous IWW slogan: “an injury to one is an injury to all.” And so, by the next day, 10,000 workers were on strike and only foremen and some skilled workers remained. The opening days of the strike had the atmosphere of a carnival and for two weeks the workers held mass meetings and demanded collective negotiation. But management wrote to every worker, requesting they sign a card stating “I wish to resume my work… when you assure me that at least 6,000 persons have signed this agreement.” The cleverness of the plan was in individualising the strikers. Everyone worried that other people were signing, and that that if they didn’t they would lose their job and be blacklisted. Management soon claimed they had received a rather convenient 6,015 responses, and on April 7 people began returning to work. Singer sacked over 400 workers, including all known members of the IWGB, because, as they stated, “We cannot be expected to retain people… who by word and deed plainly indicate that they are unfriendly to their employers.” https://ift.tt/2CuhhLU
I’d just like to say, this is the kind of shit I’ve been expecting since Bitcoin first emerged.
Pseudo-Banking/Pseudo-Stock exchange with NO oversight, NO controls, and NO regulations.
So, this “Not A Bank” crypto exchange holds roughly $190 Million in various Cryptocurrencies.
It’s in ‘cold storage’ which seems to mean in a block-chain wallet.
The head of the exchange dies. He’s the ONLY guy who has the password. There is no redundancy or backup plan. There is no-one to appeal to. There is no one for the BANK sorry Not-A-Bank to appeal to.
Crypto, such a GREAT idea…
I gotta double check it but
Allow me to press F on the world’s smallest keyboard for these aching souls who are responsible for tripling the price of graphics cards and who at one point were consuming more electricity than all of Ireland in their chase of the least stable investment in history, instead of just getting a normal fucking job like they tell everyone else to do.
fuck all philosophy except for whatever the hell Diogenes was trying to teach
direct action
How about just being polite & going into a debate with those who hold diffrent beliefs then you?
how about you eat my shit and hair
staying true to spirit
the OG of the vicious burn
Diógenes said you couldn’t spit anywhere but in the face of a rich man because once this rich dude invited him into his house and literally told him you can’t spit on anything that touches the floor so Diógenes spit in this guys face
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
