Looped Sun 20

Loop #518

Grian was... Really tired. The last few loops have been stressful and he and Scar were the only ones aware for this one... Of course he had started the loop in a serious version of third life...

Scar: What if we just died?

Grian: Come again?

Scar: We have tried so many things but not just dying early.

Grian: I wonder why.

Scar: Do you think you could make us ghosts?

Grian: I mean, probably... Shouldn't be tko hard.

Scar: We could haunt the others! With like pranks!

Grian: Hmmm... Now that is an interesting idea.

Jimmy was scared, he had woken up in a weird world with only 3 lives and soon it had become scary with different factions forming and separating... He had decided to stick with Scott and now they were married which was... conforting in a way... And then Grian and Scar died... And didn't respawn...

Grian: Hello there Timmy!

Jimmy: G-Grian? You're a ghost?

Grian: Sure thing? Why so white?

Jimmy: ... I... What happened? How did you and Scar die?

Grian: Oh, we jumped off a cliff.

Jimmy: Why would you do that!?! You just...gave up!?

Grian: I-

Jimmy: That's not- ... It's - ... Ugh!

Grian had forgotten this wasn't the same Timmy who looped with him, he understood too late that this one was going to feel bad about it and he had to do damage control... Quick.

Grian: I... We didn't actually jump on purpose!

Jimmy: You didn't?

Grian: No! No! We slipped...and fell.

Jimmy: ... Oh...really?

Grian: It's just a bit embarassing.

Jimmy: Why didn't you respawn?

Grian: Who knows.

Scar loved this, it was one of his best ideas ever. Now he just needed to scare a certain king out of his skin... He would never expect this.

Scar: Reeeeeeeeeen...

Ren: Whom? Who are you? Show yourself!

Scar: Doooon't yoooouuuu reeemeeembeeeer me?

Ren: Scar!? How? You're dead! You can't be here!

Scar: Ohhhhhhh... You are half right.

Ren: U-uh?

Scar: I am dead!

Now was the time for Scar to appear.

Scar: Boo.

Ren: AAHHHH!?

Scar: Do you hear that sound?

(AHHHHHH!)

Grian: That beautiful sound!

(AaAaaaaah??)

Scar: That is the sound, of clean, white, shorts turning brown!

(Eeheeaeaa!?!)

Grian: Tortu- ...I'm going to have to stop this impromptu musical number because what kind of scream was that??? Who in the world screams like that?

Scar: Someone apparently...

Bdubs: Leave! I'm trying to sleep!

Scar: Hmmm...

Grian: Nah!

Bdubs: I hate you guys. Why can't you guys come back in the morning or something.

Scar: Booooring.

Bdubs: Hey!

Grian: If you think about it sleep is just a free trial of death.

Bdubs:...

They ended up giving Bdubs insomnia that time around...oops.

Loop #521

Scott understood that his actions toward Jimmy back in 3rd Life weren't... completely healthy. He also understood that Grian would say that that was an understatement. He was trying to be less pushy, he really was... and despite certain recent events he tought he truly was getting better. That was why this loop was like a punch in the face.

Jimmy: Scott what's wrong?

Scott: I... Jimmy your eye...

Jimmy: Oh? Oh! It's ok you didn't hurt me too much.

Why did the loop had to start after his unawake self had already done too much damage?

Scott: No! I did! This is a full on black eye Jimmy!

Jimmy: It's... I'm sorry.

Why was he sorry? It was non looping Scotts fault not...not his! He hadn't done anything!

Scott: Don't apologize... I... I need to go.

Grian wasn't helping at all.

Grian: And you chose to run?

Unless by help one meant making Scott feel worse, in that case Grian was helping a lot.

Grian: That is like, the worst thing you could have done.

Scott: I know. I panicked!

Grian: Jimmy is going to blame himself. You do know that, right?

Scott: I know!

Jimmy: Ehhh... Grian? Have you seen Scott?

Scott: He found me! I can't go talk to him.

Grian: Are you going to what? Hide from him? I tried that with Scar near the start, it really doesn't help.

Scott: ... No.

Grian: So?

Scott: ... I'll go talk to him.

Scott: Jimmy...

Jimmy: Scott! You ran off! Did I do something wrong-

Scott: No! I... I... We need to talk...soon

Loop #524

Pearl: Gods forbid women do anything.

Impulse: You turned ALL OF OUR MEGABASES 90°!

Pearl: So?

Impulse: How? It's been less then a day!

Pearl: Oh you know...

Impulse: ...?

Pearl: You know.

Impulse: Know...what?

Pearl: You know.

Impulse: I don't think I do?

Pearl: Sounds like a you problem.

Impulse: Wha- Hey!

Pearl: I can't believe you think a woman couldn't do this, wow. I tought you were better then that.

Impulse: I DON'T THINK ANYONE CAN DO THIS?!? Why did you even rotate it!?!

Pearl: Looks better.

Impulse: You even redirected the river!

Pearl: Looks. Better.

Impulse: I... Need to lay down.

Pearl: L.

Loop #527

Grian: This is the story of a man named Scar.

Scar: Grian? Who are you talking to? ... Where are you?

Grian: When Scar came to a set of two open doors he entered the door on his left.

Scar: But... What about the right?

Grian: What about it?

Scar: I want to see what's over there!

Grian: It's just a boring lounge Scar.

Scar: Oh...ok!

Scar: Grian, is this a prank?

Grian: What?

Scar: There is an arrow that says escape!

Grian: No no no no don't go there!

Scar: I'm going!

Grian: Scar! SCAR! You come back here right now.

Scar: Nope! I'm going all the way- AAAAAAHHHHH?!??

Grian: Well ...this is bad-

Scar: I don't want to be crushed! Grian do something!

Grian: I can't!

Scar: Gri-

Mumbo: Stop! I stopped it!

Grian: Mumbo?

Scar: Uh...?

Mumbo: I- I have a museum place to bring you to... I think?

Scar: Uh... Alright... Lead the way!

Grian: Ok... Now you are just ignoring me.

Scar: I'm not! I'm exploring!

Grian: Just be careful on that cargo lift- SCAR!

Scar: Sorry!

Grian: Scar, I swear to god.

Scar: I said sorry!

Grian: Why would you even jump down!

Scar: I wanted to see what was that way!

Grian: BY JUMPING FROM A CARGO LIFT!??

Scar: Grian? Can we take a break?

Grian: Hmm... I have this room in the game code... I could...

Scar: No, no. Just. Sit here a while?

Grian: Uh? Alright, I can do that.

Mumbo: So uh... What time is it for you?

Loop #530

Pearl: Sooo... We got a new expansion.

Grian: We did.

Pearl: Toughts?

Grian: Real Life huh?

Pearl: Scar is still motion sick.

Grian: Guess we got to add Cleo to the winners.

Tango: I explained to Anne a bit about the expansions and how they work.

Scott: Which meant I had to tell her about Termina since she is going to be a proper looper soon.

Grian: Oh... How did that go?Scott: Surprisingly well actually.

Endless List of Why I Ship Jane & Kurt - Part 11 (by @kate-dammit-run)

(re-posting to preserve this list, which was originally created and posted by @kate-dammit-run, whose account was deactivated in 2023)

503. Because Jane’s worst nightmare is Kurt forgetting her 504. Because the thought of losing him– 505. Because they will stop Madeline. Together. 506. Because Ink and Mumbles 506. Because he can help her relax when denaturing deadly chemicals gets tricky 507. Because if they can go undercover in the outfits they wore in Hungary and still find each other hot then they are definitely meant to be 508. Because she helps him stay calm when his daughter is in danger 509. Because everyone wants them to stop Madeline and they will 510. Because he trusts her gut 511. And she trusts his 512. And they both trust their team 513. Because stuck in the bunker elevator 514. Because battle couple confessing their love in the elevator 515. And stolen kisses in the middle of battle 516. Because he’s their mama bear and she’s the flamingo 518. Because Jane will confess and send herself to a black site to protect him 519. Because Rhino!Kurt will charge into six armed terrorists to save Jane 520. Because she’s with him 521. Because… I love you’s through glass doors and hand on heart as the ZIP cloud rises 522. Because when it comes to getting her memories back, Kurt’s face is the first thing she remembers 523. and his face triggers all her memories to return 524. Because she knows how much he loves being FBI 525. Because they can be anything that they wanna be 526. Because they want to start working on starting their own family 527. And because that does not sound like work to him 528. Because being interrupted is just their thing– whether they like it or not 529. Because Jane following her gut is enough for Kurt to act 530. Because Jane going missing for a minute sends Kurt into panic mode 531. Because the ZIP poisoning is the one thing that terrifies them both the most 532. Because he’s not going anywhere when his wife is sick 533. But she knows that when the team needs him, that is where he has to be 534. Because “ok, boss” 535. Because he claims he is not gonna miss this life 536. But she knows he will and so will she 537. But that only means that they’re awesome and cool 538. Because they cannot imagine their life not doing this but they will figure something out 539. Because second time’s a charm 540. Because he doesn’t think she creates chaos or that she’s napalm 541. Because he knows that she has done a hell of a lot more good than bad 542. Because they’re both allowed to be done 543. Because if they’re going to die defusing a bomb, they’re gonna do so while they’re kissing 544. No, seriously, they made out while defusing a bomb 545. Because interrogation room 546. Because “I’m special agent Kurt Weller.” 547. Because they don’t have to lead a quiet life 548. Their life can be whatever they want 549. Because it’s time to make some new memories 550. Some happier ones 551. Because “let’s move” 552. Because Colorado 553. Because Thanksgiving dinner with all their family 554. Because fostering kids 555. Because framed wedding photos 556. Because they’re lucky 557. Because it’s a miracle 558. Because it could have gone wrong so many times and in so many ways 559. and it probably did in some universe 560. Because at the end of the day, when Kurt asks Jane if she’s ok, her reply is “I’m good.” 561. Because Jane’s good.

Did Lafayette meet the Schuyler sisters during his 1777-1778 time in New York?

Hello Anon,

it appears so. La Fayette was in Albany to plan an Invasion into Canada, which was later aborted. In this context he met General Schuyler for the first time in person whom he previously only knew by reputation.

He wrote in his Memoirs:

He also became well acquainted with Schuyler, Gates’s predecessor. Disgraced like St. Clair, Schuyler still served the cause and was very useful because of his superior intellect, his presence in that part of the country, and the confidence that the state of New York, of which he is a citizen, had in him. (…) A little later, Schuyler and Duane, commissioners for Indian affairs, scheduled a general assembly at Johnstown on the Mohawk River. Recalling the Indians’ former attachment to the French, M. de Lafayette went there by sled to show himself to these nations that the English had tried to raise against him.

Idzerda Stanley J. et al., editors, Lafayette in the Age of the American Revolution: Selected Letters and Papers, 1776–1790, Volume 1, December 7, 1776–March 30, 1778, Cornell University Press, 1977, p. 246-247.

While La Fayette never anywhere explicitly states that he met the Generals children, it is very safe to assume that Schuyler invited the prominent Marquis over for dinner of the like. Most of the children still lived at home but Angelica Schuyler, the oldest of the sisters, had recently married John Baker Church (June 23, 1777). General Schuyler was not at all happy with her choice of husband and since the couple had eloped, I do not think that she was often at home during this time.

La Fayette also met Elizabeth Schuyler, later Elizabeth Hamilton, during the army’s winter encampment in Morristown in 1779/1780. Eliza was staying with one of her uncles who was a doctor in the army and lived close by. The Marquis was not able to make it to the Hamilton’s wedding, but he always took great interest in Hamilton’s in-laws, often referring to them in letters just like here in a letter from December 9, 1780:

I Beg, my dear hamilton, you will present my Best Respects to your Lady, Miss Schuyller, Miss Peggy and all the family. My Compliments wait on Gel Schuyller. Adieu

“To Alexander Hamilton from Marquis de Lafayette, 9 December 1780,” Founders Online, National Archives, [Original source: The Papers of Alexander Hamilton, vol. 2, 1779–1781, ed. Harold C. Syrett. New York: Columbia University Press, 1961, pp. 518–521.] (01/16/2023)

He also had extensive contact with Angelica Schuyler Church between 1783 and 1785 when the Church’s lived in Paris.

I hope you have/had a lovely day!

Photo

Datalounge is the gift that keeps on giving.

The bottom photo in the series above appears in the thread linked below.

The comments discussing members of Led Zeppelin are the usual stuff for the most part like Jimmy and Lori. There are a couple of tidbits about Robert that might be new to people on here:

"[R488] Since you knew Zep PR people, have you ever heard them address anything concerning the rumor about the death of Robert Plant's son? Supposedly the boy was seen in nyc with the band right before his death, accidentally got into a bag of drugs and died. The story of him dying at home of a sudden infection being pure fiction."

by Anonymous reply 500 December 28, 2018

"[R500], think it was a rumor about Karec being in NYC the night before his death. Especially as the band were not even in the city when Plant's son died.

Karec died back home in England. Plant's home was nowhere near a hospital, which is likely the main reason he died.

Around the time of Karec's death, the band were scheduled to play a gig upstate NY, I forgot where. Weeks before, in the NY Daily News, Plant's family had been pictured in a roped off area of Madison Square Garden. The band played a full week at MSG. I attended three of those shows. I think that's how the rumor started that Karec was in NYC and died of drug overdose, because the band were coming back to NY to play that upstate NY gig. Yet Plant's family was already back home in England.

If Karec did indeed die in NYC, this has got to be one of rock history's most well-kept secrets.

The NY Daily News has the son's name wrong, he's listed as Korac." Classic Rock Review: Image classicrockreview.files.wordpress.com by Anonymous reply 501 December 28, 2018

"[R500]-[R501]: Karac Plant died in Kidderminster, where Plant had his family home. There was a local hospital there at the time, they only live a mile or so outside of town so it didn't take long to get to the hospital. Kiddy is only at most maybe 10-15 mins by ambulance to Birmingham.

He died quickly, either en route to hospital or just after arriving. Its been discussed over the years that he may have had Kawasaki syndrome, which is when the immune system has an overwhelmed abnormal reaction to an infection. Occurs in children and would explain the fast death.

LZ had just flown into NOLA when Plant got the news. It was in late July just before they were going on break, a few weeks before Elvis died and Plant himself turned 29." by Anonymous reply 518 December 28, 2018

"Plant had a son, or raised a son with Maureen's sister, nearly 14 years after Karac died. There are some who don't believe he's Robert's bio child, being as he broke up with the mother several years earlier and had other intervening relationships. Nevertheless his name is on the birth cert and he's raised the boy, Jordan, who graduated from Leeds a few years ago."

"His name is Jesse Lee not Jordan"

by Anonymous reply 521 December 28, 2018

"No his actual name is Jordan, that is what he's gone by for many yrs (you can google this). It's also he name on his UK birth record, which is public record.

I know he is listed as "Jesse" in some places. They may have decided to put that out as a public name, to maintain his privacy and keep nosy bodies at bay. No one really knew about him until he was well up into school."

"What difference does it make what his first name is, if his last name was Plant

Like being called Jordan instead of Jesse is gonna throw people off" by Anonymous reply 524 December 28, 2018

------------------------------------------------------

Don't know where one of the people commenting about Robert and Shirley got their info about the two supposedly breaking up years before Jordan/Jesse was born.

I'm sure Robert wasn't monogamous when he was with Shirley (or ever) so the presumably true part about Robert being with other women in the years leading up to their son's birth is entirely unsurprising.

If anyone's interested, there's stuff to read about a lot of other musicians of the 60s, 70s, & 80s.

Get comfy though. 600 reply thread.

Section I: Abuse of the Worker (Modern)

The nation of Burma is currently under the control of an illegal military junta. It has been under this control since 1988. Under the force of the military, men, women, children, and the elderly are forced to labor without compensation. Sometimes they work to complete agricultural or industrial projects, other times they work for the military carrying supplies and ammunition. Most of the money the regime makes is through the natural resources that are exported. By purchasing their commodities, one is supporting the regime. However, businesses that are still doing business with Burma include 3M, American Express, BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke), Citigroup, Inc., Glaxosmith Kline, Halliburton, Hewlett-Packard Co., Hyundai, Lucent Technologies, Saks Incorporated, [511] Chevron Texaco Corp., Hyundai, Mitsubishi Motors of America, Inc., Nestle USA, Nissan Motor, Sony Corp., Toshiba Corp., Unocal [512] Federated Department Stores, [513] TJX, and Kohl’s. [514]

In the 1980’s and 1990’s, the use of outsourcing among American industries had become a popular trend, only becoming more and more used. Outsourcing is when American industries move capital to foreign territory, where production costs are lower. Why are they lower? They’re lower because they’re capable of getting away with lower wages, more hours, and fewer jobs. With the passage of NAFTA, this only increased. In Mexico, American industries import from maquiladoras, Mexican factories where laborers are paid poorly and forced to work overtime. Though passed with the intention of helping the world, NAFTA has meant fewer jobs with more hours and less pay. Businesses using Mexican maquiladoras include BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke), Canon Inc., DaimlerChrysler, Eli Lilly, Ford Motor, General Electric Company, General Motors, Hewlett-Packard Co., Hitachi American, Ltd., Honda Motor, Honeywell, Hyundai, IBM, Mattel Inc., Mitsubishi Motors of America, Inc., Motorola, Nissan Motor, Sanya Electric Co., Ltd., Sara Lee Corp., Sony Corp., Toshiba Corp., Volkswagon AG, and Xerox. [515]

Some apparel sold at Dillard’s is made in Excel Apparel Exports, a Haitian factory. Workers here earn $1.33 a day. [516] Caribou Coffee sells products that are not Tarnsfar certified Fair Trade, meaning that the coffee farmers are paid lowly and work in poor conditions. Carribou Coffee owns 160 locations throughout the United States. [517] Gap and Nike brand clothing are made at BJ&B sweatshop in the Dominican Republic. Violating even that nation’s labor laws, women are paid less than men, workers are hit, touched inappropriately, and belittled, and conditions are unsanitary. Out of the $20 retail cost of a brand cap, $0.08 is given to the workers, who earn about $40 after 56 hours of work. [518] Both Circuit City and JCPenny employment contracts prohibit their workers from litigating against their employer. This disallows employees from filing suit for sexual harassment, abuse, or violation of labor laws. [519] Hasbro, the child toy company, subcontracts factories in Asia, using cheap labor and lack of enforcement of labor laws. Such labor laws prevent unsanitary and unsafe conditions, as well as protecting wages. [520] In a Nabisco food processing plant in Oxnard, California, female employees were denied the right to take bathroom breaks, while males were allowed this privilege. The employer even padlocked the female bathroom between breaks. [521] In a National Semiconductor facility in Greenock, Scotland, women workers are suffering serious occupational health problems, including miscarriages, reproductive cancers, vision problems, and respiratory ailments. The ability to unionize is illegal, thus inhibiting workers from organizing against the unsanitary conditions. [522]

Nike was the recipient of the National Labor Committees’ First Annual Golden Grinch Awards. It was received because the company had outstanding sweatshop abuses and starvation wages. In one Dominican Republic factory, workers were given 6.6 minutes to sew one children’s sweatshirt. They earn $0.08 for each $22.99 Nike sweatshirt they sew, less than 3/10ths of 1% of retail price. [523] In Guatemala, a Phillips-Van Heusen employee work force organized a union according to Guatemalan law, but the company refuses to recognize the validity of it. [524] In Saipan, 40,000 garment workers brought suit against Polo Ralph Lauren, because workers faced harassment, abuse, and poor working conditions. [525] Shirts and pants sold at Wal-Mart stores are made by workers at the Beximco Factory, Bangladesh, where employees work 12 hour days, seven days a week, and receive between 9 and 20 cents an hour. [526] A New Orleans worker at the Winn-Dixie grocery store was fired because he was a crossdresser, when not at work. [527]

In June of 1995, JCPenny fired 186 workers at an El Salvador plant because they organized in a union. This was after being subject to excessive overtime and undue punishment. [528] Since 1996, Darden Restaurants has been charged with four separate accounts of anti-gay discrimination. [529] From 1996 to 1997, Halliburton aided in construction in Burma, knowing of the forced labor, or literal slavery, that was used to build it. [530] Mitsubishi has been mishandling sexual and racial harassment allegations from 1996 and earlier. Some women were set back in careers for not giving in to sexual harassment. [531] In 1997, Fruit of the Loom slashed 7,700 U.S. jobs in shifting production to the Caribbean, ultimately offering fewer jobs, for longer hours, with less pay. [532] Home Depot paid $104 million to settle a class-action discrimination suit, involving 25,000 employees. [533] Kmart, Limited Brands Inc., and May Department Stores, was named as one of the companies that used sweatshop labor most often in 1997. [534]

In a 1997 report, teenage girls and women working in the Keyhinge factory in Vietnam were forced to work 9 to 10 hours a day, seven days a week, often earning just six cents an hour. They were producing promotional toys for happy meals. In February of that year, 200 workers fell ill, 25 collapsed, and three were hospitalized, because of chemical exposure. [535] On March 8 of 1997, Carmelita Alonza died after spending 11 days in the hospital. The cause of death was related to her 14 hour workdays and eight hours of overtime every Sunday. She worked in a factory that supplied Eddie Bauer, Federated Department Stores, Gap, Jones Apparel, Liz Claiborne Inc., May Department Stores, and Polo Ralph Lauren. [536] On June of 1997, a British judge noted in a sidenote that McDonald’s pays low wages, helping to depress wages in the catering trade. [537] Reebok shoe factories in China employ workers as young as 13, paid below legal minimum, and forced overtime, according to a September 1997 report. [538] In October of 1997, First Union settled an age discrimination suit against 239 former employees, by paying $58.5 million. Old workers were fired and replaced with younger, less-qualified workers. [539] In an Associated Press report for November of 1997, Nicaraguans who make garments sold at Kmart work in appalling conditions and are paid extremely little. The report also noted Hondurans who were forced to work in similar conditions for the Kathie Lee Gifford line. There was physical, verbal, and sexual abuse. The factories were surrounded by barbed wire, guarded with armed soldiers, and employed children as young as 15, some forced to work 13 hours a day, seven days a week, without overtime pay. [540] In December of 1997, five garment workers in El Paso, Texas, were awarded $10.6 million in court, when the Levi Strauss company violated their privacy rights. The violation occurred as retaliation, when the workers sought work comp benefits for injuries incurred at the plant. [541]

Arlen Benjamin-Gomez traveled to Honduras in 1998, where she interviewed workers for two weeks. These workers were paid $3.50 a day and forced to work long hours of overtime without pay. Ventilation was poor in the factories, the managers treated them badly, and they had limited use use of the bathrooms. Workers who tried to unionize were blacklisted and fired. [542] Also in 1998, Gap clothing and clothing by the Sara Lee Corp. was manufactured in a Thai factory. It underpaid workers, denied payment of overtime, required forced overtime, and provided no working welfare, violating the law in Thailand. Work shifts were 12 hours each with limited bathroom use. Women workers were sexually harassed and violated. Unionizing workers were fired. [543] McDonald’s has been allowed by the government to put restaurants in public hospitals, guaranteeing a monopoly — however, such restaurants are anti-union. [544] In maquiladoras in Mexico, Sanyo performed pregnancy tests and fired all pregnant women. [545] A 1998 report detailed 53 cases of pregnancy discrimination at 50 factories along the U.S.-Mexico border and in Baja, California. These factories are operated by Tyco International, which requires mandatory pregnancy testing during the hiring process. [546] Also in 1998, Tyson Foods cheated workers out of 30 minutes of overtime pay everyday. [547]

As late as March of 1998, Federated Department Stores and Polo Ralph Lauren were selling clothing made in China, under illegal working conditions and violating internationally recognized workers rights. [548] A March 1998 visit to Reebok factories had discovered that wages and monitoring were inadequate, and that virtually little to no progress had been made in allowing workers the right to unionize. Also, the actual wages had decreased in purchasing power by 60%. [549] In March of 1998, a female worker suffered sexual harassment, verbal and physical, by workers of Tyson Foods corporation, and her complaints to management were completely ignored. [550] One woman was demoted from State Street Corp. after taking a maternity leave. Investor’s Business Daily stated that the complaint claimed, “women were targets of profanity and were underpaid relative to their male counterparts; that another woman was fired because she missed work while attending court after having been the victim of domestic abuse; and that an employee played a compact disc of a woman having an orgasm over speakers located in the equity trading room.” [551] In June of 1998, an explosion linked to outdated equipment at the Pennzoil-Quaker State Company killed 5 workers. Pennzoil paid a $1.5 million fine in April of 1996 for violating OSHA’s safety management rules and materials handling rules. [552] In 1998 of August, CIGNA Corporation withheld raises from their employees unless the employees signed over their right to sue over age, sex, and racial discrimination, any form of harassment, or wrongful hiring. [553] In 1991, Whole Foods fired an employee for her union activity in the United States. In November of 1997, Whole Foods also fired 70 union workers with 70 non-union workers. At another Whole Foods, one worker was fired for trying to represent the work force and bring up concerns of the workers. [554] In October of 1998, a female worker of the Dana Corporation was subjected to sexual harassment by a male supervisor. Her claim was backed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The harassment went on for several years. [555] Time Warner Inc. denied health and pension benefits to hundreds of eligible workers, by claiming they were independent contractors. [556] In 1998, the Valero Energy Corp. finally gave compensation to a widow of a worker at its’ Armarillo, Texas refinery, who was killed in a 1996 gas explosion. A jury determined the company was guilty of gross negligence. [557]

The year 1999 was not much different than others. In an Indonesian oil facility, owned by Chevron Texaco Corp., 8,000 workers face labor and human rights violations. [558] In a 1999 report, General Motors was found to be performing pregnancy tests and discrimination against pregnant females. [559] A group of black employees working for Merk were being treated unfairly and not given the same promotion opportunities as white employees. [560] In January of 1999, HoltraChem Manufacturing was fined by the NC Occupational Safety and Health Administration for health and safety violations, including overexposure of mercury to employees, frequent hydrogen fires, and lack of protective clothing for dangerous chemicals. [561] In the same month, Warnaco and seventeen other clothing manufacturers were accused of using indentured labor to produce clothing, failure to pay overtime, and intolerable work conditions in Saipan, a United States territory. [562] In February of 1999, Airborne Inc. was sued because their policy of randomly searching workers violates their civil rights and the collective bargaining agreement. [563] In early 1999, Tyson Foods tried to take away 21 benefits from workers when contracts came up for renewal. [564] In March of 1999, a white supervisor for Airborne Inc. accelerated the disciplinary process of seven African Americans and Hispanics, as well as screaming obscenities at them and physically threatening them. [565] Kohl’s, owned by Great Atlantic and Pacific, was accused in 1998 of practicing wage discrimination, by giving only high paying positions to male employees. By 1999 of March, 1,500 females have joined in a suit against the company. [566] A report from March of 1999 reported that more than half of the clothing sold by Lands’ End was being purchased from overseas, where sweatshop conditions are prevalent [567] In April of 1999, Bellsouth was accused of discriminating against 300 employees, who were denied promotions and pay raises because of age and gender. [568] A May 1999 report identified Cooper Tire & Rubber as one of 12,500 workplaces with notably high occupational injury and illness. [569] When Mexican workers at a maquiladora voted to be represented by an independent union in May of 1999, Hyundai refused their request. [570]

According to a June, 1999 report, Boise Cascade has been charged with 350 willful negligence violations of worker safety since 1988. [571] According to another June, 1999 report, Phillips-Van Heusen shut down a factory that had been granted independent monitoring and moved to a non-unionized, poverty-wage sweatshops.

[578] In late 1999, one female employee of MBNA was sexually harassed and assaulted by a male coworker, whom the company had refused to do anything to help. The harassment was so intense that it went to the point of physical collapse. [579] In October of 1999, Phillips-Van Heusen and four other clothing manufacturers agreed to settle a class-action suit because of their sweatshop conditions in the United States.
