#Fire Safety Plan for Garment Industry

How’s this for a theory for ya’: the far right wants people to work at age 12, or maybe younger, so that they’ll always be compliant, ignorant, scared, and easily replaced through the whole of their working lives.

In many states (pick a news story) the far right is bucking for votes by enacting legislation to prevent abortion, ostensibly to “protect the children.”

In those same states (again, pick a news story) those legislators are enacting, or at least attempting to, laws demanding schools eschew teaching “woke” subjects--i.e.: they should stick to patriotic history (or no history--or art for that matter--at all), avoid anything to do with gender or sex that is not WASPy cis/het and promotes “traditional family values”--and so on, ostensibly to “protect the children,” and to engender “parents’ rights.”

Again, in those same states, legislatures are attempting to, or are passing, laws that loosen child labor laws, (listen to this segment from WAMU’s 1A) which would allow more young people to take on more hours--even overnights, or take on more dangerous labor.  Ostensibly this is good for children as it teaches good work ethics, so it’s “good for kids,” while also being good for businesses given the so-called lack of employable people.

My take?  By making abortion illegal, or very difficult to obtain, neoliberal thinkers and actors are attempting to increase the population of the people who are least able to obtain abortions or other family planning options.  By restricting what is taught to those children when they reach school age, those young citizens will be ignorant of how democracy is supposed to operate, they will not question their “leaders,” and they will be pushed to become “good employees.”  Then they will be allowed to start working at as young as age twelve, doing menial but dangerous tasks (loading meat trucks on the graveyard shift, for instance) when they are too young to understand that they could be seriously injured but are also so young that they don’t want to advocate for better so as not to upset their bosses and maybe get fired.  By the time they’ve been on the job for a couple of years, they’ll be too tired to pay attention in school, and drop out--and so need to keep working, still ignorant of safety regulations or that laws exist (or used to) to protect them and keep exploitation at bay.  In the end, they’ll be compliant workers, unquestioning of the overseers, taking what little pay they’re given, and completely unlikely to organize.

In a generation, the top echelon of the population will have a huge worker pool to draw from that is not equipped to push back on unfair and dangerous conditions--and that pool of people will be living in conditions that are unhealthy due to deregulation of industry, unable to access health care, and easily replaceable since there will always be a line down the block of potential hires.  All of which sounds much like the 19th Century.

I could work in something about fear, anger, right-wing media, and the 2nd Amendment, but that post would be way too long.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

September 5, 2021

Heather Cox Richardson

On March 25, 1911, Frances Perkins was visiting with a friend who lived near Washington Square in New York City when they heard fire engines and people screaming. They rushed out to the street to see what the trouble was. A fire had broken out in a garment factory on the upper floors of a building on Washington Square, and the blaze ripped through the lint in the air. The only way out was down the elevator, which had been abandoned at the base of its shaft, or through an exit to the roof. But the factory owner had locked the roof exit that day because, he later testified, he was worried some of his workers might steal some of the blouses they were making.

“The people had just begun to jump when we got there,” Perkins later recalled. “They had been holding until that time, standing in the windowsills, being crowded by others behind them, the fire pressing closer and closer, the smoke closer and closer. Finally the men were trying to get out this thing that the firemen carry with them, a net to catch people if they do jump, the[y] were trying to get that out and they couldn’t wait any longer. They began to jump. The… weight of the bodies was so great, at the speed at which they were traveling that they broke through the net. Every one of them was killed, everybody who jumped was killed. It was a horrifying spectacle.”

By the time the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire was out, 147 young people were dead, either from their fall from the factory windows or from smoke inhalation.

Perkins had few illusions about industrial America: she had worked in a settlement house in an impoverished immigrant neighborhood in Chicago and was the head of the New York office of the National Consumers League, urging consumers to use their buying power to demand better conditions and wages for workers. But even she was shocked by the scene she witnessed on March 25.

By the next day, New Yorkers were gathering to talk about what had happened on their watch. “I can't begin to tell you how disturbed the people were everywhere,” Perkins said. “It was as though we had all done something wrong. It shouldn't have been. We were sorry…. We didn't want it that way. We hadn’t intended to have 147 girls and boys killed in a factory. It was a terrible thing for the people of the City of New York and the State of New York to face.”

The Democratic majority leader in the New York legislature, Al Smith—who would a few years later go on to four terms as New York governor and become the Democratic presidential nominee in 1928—went to visit the families of the dead to express his sympathy and his grief. “It was a human, decent, natural thing to do,” Perkins said, “and it was a sight he never forgot. It burned it into his mind. He also got to the morgue, I remember, at just the time when the survivors were being allowed to sort out the dead and see who was theirs and who could be recognized. He went along with a number of others to the morgue to support and help, you know, the old father or the sorrowing sister, do her terrible picking out.”

“This was the kind of shock that we all had,” Perkins remembered.

The next Sunday, concerned New Yorkers met at the Metropolitan Opera House with the conviction that “something must be done. We've got to turn this into some kind of victory, some kind of constructive action….” One man contributed $25,000 to fund citizens’ action to “make sure that this kind of thing can never happen again.”

The gathering appointed a committee, which asked the legislature to create a bipartisan commission to figure out how to improve fire safety in factories. For four years, Frances Perkins was their chief investigator.

She later explained that although their mission was to stop factory fires, “we went on and kept expanding the function of the commission 'till it came to be the report on sanitary conditions and to provide for their removal and to report all kinds of unsafe conditions and then to report all kinds of human conditions that were unfavorable to the employees, including long hours, including low wages, including the labor of children, including the overwork of women, including homework put out by the factories to be taken home by the women. It included almost everything you could think of that had been in agitation for years. We were authorized to investigate and report and recommend action on all these subjects.”

And they did. Al Smith was the speaker of the house when they published their report, and soon would become governor. Much of what the commission recommended became law.

Perkins later mused that perhaps the new legislation to protect workers had in some way paid the debt society owed to the young people, dead at the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. “The extent to which this legislation in New York marked a change in American political attitudes and policies toward social responsibility can scarcely be overrated,” she said. “It was, I am convinced, a turning point.”

But she was not done. In 1919, over the fervent objections of men, Governor Smith appointed Perkins to the New York State Industrial Commission to help weed out the corruption that was weakening the new laws. She continued to be one of his closest advisers on labor issues. In 1929, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt replaced Smith as New York governor, he appointed Perkins to oversee the state’s labor department as the Depression worsened. When President Herbert Hoover claimed that unemployment was ending, Perkins made national news when she repeatedly called him out with figures proving the opposite and said his “misleading statements” were “cruel and irresponsible.” She began to work with leaders from other states to figure out how to protect workers and promote employment by working together.

In 1933, after the people had rejected Hoover’s plan to let the Depression burn itself out, President-elect Roosevelt asked Perkins to serve as Secretary of Labor in his administration. She accepted only on the condition that he back her goals: unemployment insurance; health insurance; old-age insurance, a 40-hour work week; a minimum wage; and abolition of child labor. She later recalled: “I remember he looked so startled, and he said, ‘Well, do you think it can be done?’”

She promised to find out.

Once in office, Perkins was a driving force behind the administration’s massive investment in public works projects to get people back to work. She urged the government to spend $3.3 billion on schools, roads, housing, and post offices. Those projects employed more than a million people in 1934.

In 1935, FDR signed the Social Security Act, providing ordinary Americans with unemployment insurance; aid to homeless, dependent, and neglected children; funds to promote maternal and child welfare; and public health services.

In 1938, Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act, which established a minimum wage and maximum hours. It banned child labor.

Frances Perkins, and all those who worked with her, transformed the horror of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire into the heart of our nation’s basic social safety net.

“There is always a large horizon…. There is much to be done,” Perkins said. “It is up to you to contribute some small part to a program of human betterment for all time.”

Happy Labor Day, everyone.

String Update: Including Rate Of Interest to Sewouts for CUSTOMIZED PATCHES

Bring extra worth to your embroidery with specialty strings.

Whether you're servicing a sewn competitors access or job bid, to the victor goes the reward. Your possibilities-- as well as choices-- rise significantly when you assess all alternatives presently available. A lot of embroiderers have actually chosen their general-purpose, day-to-day 40-weight string by choosing lustrous rayon or solid polyester. However a lot of get comfy with never ever taking the complying with activity when making  CUSTOM PATCHES.

Several embroiderers' makers are developed for 40-weight string; furthermore, their stock designs are digitized for it, and likewise they equip substantial supply of 40-weight rayon or polyester string. Ah, the benefit location! Who suches as change anyhow? However that is specifically why it's time for making some innovative options, improving the selections in your supply as well as the alternatives for your sewouts.

You mean to develop a comfort level-- that convenience of working together with your equipment-- to be able to break out as well as likewise effort something brand-new. Several embroiderers reveal passion in attempting something out of the box, however the concept of transforming a needle, thickness setups or committing to discovering something new is paralyzing.

Yet arrangements-- as well as likewise competitions-- are won by differing from the group and also creating looks for you or your consumers that are unique, uncommon or artistically expressed. Understanding using a few of the specialized threads on the industry, and profiting from the education and learning as well as learning possibilities that accompany them, considerably raises the opportunities.

THE "WOW" ELEMENT

What are points that make us say, "Wow!" when we check out an amazing sewed sewout? Fine information as well as clearness; glimmer and sparkle; shade shading along with realism. Permit's think about these elements independently as well as just how you can include them to your needlework.

As in life, when it worries embroidery, too much of an excellent thing can end up working against you. Specialized strings seem to have the greatest impact when combined with other, a whole lot extra fundamental threads. Contrast-- the outcome of mixing 2 or even more opposite string kinds-- often is the wow component. As well as additionally measurement, bring about a huge or small design, can be an attention grabber.

Metallics. While there are lots of basic specialty-thread options, a lot of them belong to this group alone. Metal needlework string can be located in smooth or twisted plans, as well as different weights. Some will certainly stand up to industrial-strength laundering, while others are designed for exceptional residence decoration full with TLC. Always think of the item you're stitching as well as pick the durability of your string as necessary.

Special-effects strings frequently enter into play for, well, distinct effects. The metallics are outstanding for infiltrating a typical layout to include a component of shock, make a statement, tension part of a layout or logo design, or simply secure that wow element.

For example, if you are working with a logo design or design that consists of a product in grey (eating tools, machinery, tools, and so on), attempt utilizing silver metal thread. Or, effort exchanging in gold metal for a yellow- or gold-colored area in your design. Mixing a shiny metallic with your general-purpose rayon or polyester string gives unbelievable end results.

After that, there is the shimmering result of a various sort of metal string, where its unique transforming offers it an extra distinctive and likewise shimmering impact. Right here, too, additionally used in small parts of your layout, the extra element of sparkle, shimmer or sparkle will certainly develop a distinctive look that separates your style-- as well as likewise your organization-- from the prevalent rival.<br>

When including metal string to a style, bear in mind to select a stitch length that is appropriate for a thicker, rougher string. Use a # 90/14 needle, as a result of the # 30 weight of the thread. Whether it's luster, glimmer, iridescence, jewel tones, bling or simply focus that you search for, metal thread may be the treatment.

Abide by the producers' recommendations worrying needle dimension as well as likewise machine tension for maximum outcomes. The string stress on your manufacturer ought to be developed a little looser than for fundamental 40-weight strings along with the gadget speed need to be established rather slower. For heavier-weight threads, the needle dimension will definitely enhance.

60-Weight. For wonderful details as well as lettering smaller than 4mm, 60-weight string-- conveniently offered in both rayon and also polyester-- will certainly offer you well. It calls for a smaller sized needle, yet will certainly allow you to create message, securing and additionally other limited detail where general-purpose, 40-weight thread can fall short. It is readily offered in a variety of shades, typically Pantone-matched, in addition to matched to its 40-weight equivalents.

A thread to aim to for problem fixing, it is great to make your digitizer knowledgeable about it at the beginning of a project. Taking into consideration that a smaller sized needle will definitely supply excellent results, some embroiderers will definitely "designate" a solitary needle to 60-weight string in black or white for sewing the message in a logo layout.

Matte Finish. The improvement of matte-finish embroidery string enables you to develop depth, or shading, in your needlework. You can integrate it with shiny or glossy thread to attain a feeling of "layering." Matte-finish needlework string is excellent for use as "skin" when individuals or faces are related to a style.

As well as also when subtlety or an added macho look is wanted, as in tone-on-tone or when making for a customer that stays clear of sparkle, matte-finish string will definitely work well. One leading matte-finish embroidery string on the market is especially colorfast and additionally created to withstand large amounts of ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sunlight, making it a good choice for exterior patio area pillows, watercraft covers, and more. Mixing a matte-finish embroidery string with a shiny or shiny one for special shading outcomes, or replacing the matte surface totally for a crisp, subtle appearance will provide an unique format, putting you ahead of your competitors.

Wool-Blend. The harsh, unique wool-blend needlework string will certainly provide an appealing, hand-embroidered appearance. Blending it right into a stock design, or merely choosing how and likewise when to use it, requires cautious aspect to think about. The wide satin stitch, longer running stitch and a variation of the covering stitch all are excellent options for this distinct string. When dealing with these thicker strings, other factors to think about contain needle size, stress as well as devices speed.

The thick wool-blend string, with normally soft tones, requires that you make use of a # 100/16 needle. For tension setups on your needlework tool, only tighten up the leading anxiety. If you transform the bobbin tension, you will certainly have difficulties running the numerous other strings in the style. Along with just to be on the risk-free side, taking into consideration the normally "hirsute" structure of the wool-blend thread, tidy the bobbin instances and likewise turning area much more regularly than with other threads.

Fireproof. This is considered a specialized string, yet not always one you would absolutely choose unless the production needed it. It was developed for usage on attires, logo designs or any type of kind of garments where safety is a problem. Industries such as oil, aerial along with fire control, and additionally sporting tasks such as automobile racing or flying, all present prime opportunities for using this string.

The very best high quality fireproof strings are made from 100% Aramid, a DuPont item. One more time, while not a best thread for anything besides safety and security needs, it is an excellent string type to be comfortable with, for whenever the need occurs. You will absolutely see it made use of most often in logo layouts or for customizing safety and security as well as safety and security outfits.

Variegated and also Multicolor. While design, or your customer, might identify whether you stay with a solid color or put a multi-color look right into the mix, your selections are relatively unlimited. With multicolor strings, as you sew, the string will certainly go from one color to another and also an additional. With ombrés, one string will definitely produce numerous tones of a singular shade. You have a wide range of choices if you choose to attempt a different tinted or shaded look, since rayon, polyester, woollen blends along with metallics all come in variations of these random-looking tones.

Working with these strings takes some trial and error to ensure that you can find out the quantity of control you have-- if any type of-- over just how the tones or tones will go down. If mixing in multicolors, or ombrés, it may be best to utilize them in large areas, as the ombrés that are prominent with fashion

developers-- in layouts that are all-natural in look-- allow the random adjustments of the thread to enhance the style.

Glow-in-the-Dark. For pure uniqueness-- as well as Halloween is the prime motivation-- this specialized thread is prominent for childrenswear or shoulder bag. It is a string that requires to be "billed" by being held under direct light, and afterwards will certainly hold its glow-in-the-dark houses for a dimension of time that stays symmetrical with the length of time it was billed.

This thread is not to be utilized when controlled security problems are an issue. It was developed for pure novelty and, while its usage can be quite creative and might contribute to the customer's direct exposure, it does not birth any kind of type of guarantee of the size or efficiency of its luster. A 40-weight string, it must not need any type of unique factor to think about when running.

SLIPPING BY THE COMPETITION

Special-effects strings truly will set you besides the rivals when you master working with them.

Wool-blend string provides a home-spun influence, while 60-weight string is optimal for attaining logo layouts that are the envy of your competition. Usage metallics for results that "pop," matte-finished string integrated with the gloss of rayon or the gloss of polyester for shielding, glow-in-the-dark for youngsters's clothes, and so on. All will certainly permit you to supply your consumers embroidery they may not discover anywhere else.

Using some down time to experiment, as well as likewise end up being skilled as well as safe in expanding your toolbox, will certainly confirm well worth it; including some of the previously pointed out threads can increase your charges up to 20%. Several of these strings originally will call for some digitizing in addition to machine-tension adjustments, along with needle modifications in addition to-- possibly most significantly-- perseverance. But the results will definitely give you a side over your peers, and a leg up in the rivals circuit.

The Chemicals that make the clothing fire-resistant usually release bromine or chlorine, thus making it the Perfect Combination. It can work for the Breaking The Burning cycle while slowing down the reactions that are necessary for the Flames to occur. There are plenty of varieties of fabric available to work as a natural fire retardant. However, there is a difference between flame resistant and flammable clothing. The difference is in the form that the flame-resistant clothing turns out to be made of non-flammable fabric as well as materials. The materials come with a chemical structure that is naturally flame resistant. Whenever they are entering the work area, you must consider the protective clothing that turns out to be suitable for the nature of the work. You can get the necessary associated with the work.

Fire-resistant clothing is gender-neutral and makes sure that it is specifically designed for both men and women. You can get clothing that is naturally loose fitting and will be designed for everyone to get the range of benefits.

Now let's move together towards another workwear that will be providing safety at all times.

·         The high visibility clothing

This Hivis workwear clothing proves to be the perfect one for everyone for the prevention of accidents and possibly life-threatening injuries. Employees as well as employers who are vulnerable to the low lighting conditions in the industrial field always require adequate and serviceable high visibility clothing that will be good enough for being free from significant hazards. Besides, the employees are also obliged to wear high visibility clothing that is good enough for the reduction of the case of accidents, specifically in the business environment. In case the zone is vulnerable to high vehicle traffic, it's worth considering buying high visibility clothing. The location where there may be chances of the low light conditions can give safety to the wearer with the high vis clothing. High-visibility workwear always complies with the latest health and safety regulations, making it fit for different zones. Motorcyclist, Passenger car, and truck drivers need them because they are vulnerable to high risk whenever they move outside. That said, whether you are at work, driving or working during the conditions of the low light, it's mandatory to consider wearing high visibility workwear. The protective equipment will be making sure restricting the cases of accidents and making it reduced to the level that they won't make any accidents happening again. The best part is that there are updated styles and designs in the range of jackets, shirts, trousers, tool, waistcoats and everything else. All of such workwear will be good enough for the maintenance of the protection level. Besides the custom qualified designs, make sure that the high visibility clothing can protect the wearer with the fluorescent colours that work by conversion of the UV light into the sunlight. If the employees are working outside, it's worth considering the high visibility clothing because it can give UPF.

UNDERSTANDING FIRE RETARDANT CLOTHING – STAY SAFE AT WORK

Flame-resistant clothing refers to the clothing designed perfectly for withstanding the heat on exposure to the fire. That said, flame resistant clothing works for protecting the wearer from injuries and burns. Overall the flame resistant clothing turns out to be effective enough to never melt when it is exposed to heat.

The working pattern of the fire retardant cloth

The fire retardant clothing as Workwear Melbourne works to the prevention of the flame from reaching the clothing while the person is still wearing it. The Chemicals that make the clothing fire-resistant usually release bromine or chlorine, thus making it the Perfect Combination. It can work for the Breaking The Burning cycle while slowing down the reactions that are necessary for the Flames to occur. There are plenty of varieties of fabric available to work as a natural fire retardant. However, there is a difference between flame resistant and flammable clothing. The difference is in the form that the flame-resistant clothing turns out to be made of non-flammable fabric as well as materials. The materials come with a chemical structure that is naturally flame resistant. Whenever they are entering the work area, you must consider the protective clothing that turns out to be suitable for the nature of the work. You can get the necessary associated with the work. That said, the fabrics can catch fire. But they will be having the property of self-extinguishing or burning extremely slow.

Why fire resistant clothing in the workplace?

The fire-resistantclothing is the one that has the property of suppressing the fire and also completely extinguishing it. That said, accidents happen in the workplace and are irresistible at times. Wearing such fire-resistant clothing will make sure that the property of the material never allow the inflow of Oxygen to work out on the material. The fire-resistant clothing turns out to be completely different when compared to the conventional material that will be acting as the fuel to the Fire. Fire-resistant clothing becomes mandatory in workplaces that are vulnerable to the high risk of catching fire. It can ensure that the workers or the officers can be protected from the firing coil and gas Arc flash hazards to everything else. The flame-resistant clothing can ensure the reduction of the risk but also eliminating the hazards of the injury of the flash of Fire. Usually, the workplace comes with the vulnerability of the employee or the guest lighting a match near the combustible material that can be enough for initiating the fire without any intention. For keeping away such potential hazard, it's worth considering wearing fire-resistant clothing that will be making sure to formulate the short exit plan in the case of the flammable environment. It is often helpful to the ones who are not in the habit of removing themselves from The Fire scene. The fire-resistant clothing made from natural materials makes sure that the organic cotton and wool will be naturally capable of resisting the burning because they have the property of being smothered in the thick fibres.

The significant difference between the fire retardant at the fire-resistant clothing

The fire-resistant clothing turns out to be either fire retardant or Fire resistant. There are usually two types that will be available to you. There are similarities between the two, but there are differences too. The fire retardant clothing means materials turn out to be self-extinguishing in nature. The quality, however, starts fading away in no time. Especially when it comes to continuous use, the flame retardant clothing proves to be less expensive as well as is easier to access.

The fire-resistantworkwear comes with fibres that are not vulnerable to igniting easily even when it is exposed to the Fire. It's good to remember that the fibres do not start disappearing or reducing in strength even when you frequently wash them. Overall the fire-resistant clothing turns out to be very difficult and expensive for certain organisations to afford. That said, both types of clothing, that is Fire-retardant clothing and the flame-resistant clothing turn out to self-extinguishing and will be working better in the workplace because of the quality of burning exceptionally slowly. The fabric used in fire retardant clothing is a common one for the fabric. It always undergoes a chemical treatment. It can give protection to the wearer from Flames from Burning and spreading quickly.

Picking the fire retardant clothing by considering the necessary Metrics

There are plenty of benefits of Fire retardant workwear. However, it because mandatory to consider certain points before buying one. Regardless of how smaller the risk, maybe it's always good to be on the safe side. You can pick the right fire retardant clothing that will be saving you against cases like trauma, burns or even death.

·         Fit

Looser clothing can give better protection. The reason behind the same is the extra layer of the area between the wearer and the FR clothing. Always look for the added insulation from the Sun’s heat. It's better to not wear something that is too for the skin. Tight fire retardant clothing can result in Flames that come directly in contact with the skin. Always choose the clothing that comes with an efficient protective layer. Make sure that it is working between the fabric and the skin. Always check the fire retardant workwear compliance with the relevant laws, some of which areAS/NZS ISO 2801:2008, as well as AS4967-2006 and AS4824-2006 standard. Ensure the safety of the workers as well as businesses with these materials. Always make sure that they are meeting the different standard that comes inclusive of NFPA 2112.

·         Type of the dress

The fire retardant clothing turns out to be fire resistant in terms of the properties of the hazard at the workplace. See to that the clothing you're choosing will be meeting the budget as well as a requirement. The fire retardant clothing is good for all the workplaces, and they are less expensive when compared to fire-resistant clothing. Fire-resistant clothing is gender-neutral and makes sure that it is specifically designed for both men and women.

Brokenness and A Plan for Mass Transformation.

A man, lying in the road, literally on fire.  A flame wicking off of his heal as bystanders looked on for the best shot with their phone cameras.  Then the attention shifted to something moving in the bushes, and as the camera changed its focus a person, perhaps a woman was moving, the look on her face was of desperation, burned from head to foot, skin coming off.  Noone to offer help.  No ambulance on the way.  No LifeFlight to the nearest burn unit.  This was on the road just a few miles from the school Mission Lazarus operates in North-East Haiti.  The man in the road was driving a motorcycle carrying the woman from the side of the road along with two five gallon jugs of gasoline when they wrecked.  The gasoline quickly combusted and engulfed the two in an inescapable inferno.  The driver hadn’t lasted long and the woman in the bushes would not last long either.  This did not have to happen but due to a massive fuel shortage in Haiti the people have been forced to take drastic measures to obtain fuel.  Fuel for their cars to get to work and fuel for their generators so that their businesses can operate (only 20% of Haiti has electricity).  So while it might seem obvious that carrying two jugs of gasoline on the back of a motorcycle would be extremely dangerous everything is relative in Haiti.  

I will probably make someone mad by writing this.  What I’m trying to say will most likely not be understood by more than one person.  I know that my life experiences are unique and that they have greatly shaped who I am, how I think, and how I view others, the world, and the Kingdom of God.  I cannot avoid using my lenses to see but I do recognize that not everyone has my lenses.  I hope that this will give you insights into how I see the transformational work that I believe that as followers of Jesus we are all called to.  

On thursday afternoon September 12 I was flying from Cap Haitien, Haiti back to the US after a week packed full of reviews and planning meetings.  My trip was a success and I was blessed to be with our team there.  But I was exhausted.  Not exhausted from working hard, something that I’m accustomed to, rather exhausted emotionally from the clear reality of life in Haiti.  I was exhausted and I was only there for five days.  

If you’re not aware, Haiti has been plagued this year by political turmoil.  From a massive government report detailing how  billions of Dollars, were skimmed off of the Haiti / Venezuela discounted fuel program “PetroCaribe”, to a fuel hike to reduce the level of government subsidy on the price of fuel, and to fuel shortages throughout the country due to a shortage of US Dollars to pay for fuel imports since the PetroCaribe scheme collapsed.  Those three primary issues coupled with a democratic political system that resembles more of a playground of bullies rather than the leaders of the nation, where the Survivor TV series tagline of “Outwit, Outlast, & Outplay” takes on a whole new meaning.  These realities can lead to many problems, one of the most common is massive protests and a crippling of the nation’s already fragile transportation infrastructure.  These protests are often times at the beckoning of whatever politician’s agenda is looking to stir something up this week and whether or not he has 1,000 Gourde bills to hand out (Haitien currency where roughly 100 Gourdes = $1).   Since 1,000 Gourdes is about US $10 or twice what a well paid Haitien garment factory work would normally make in a day it is easy to understand why unemployed men, young and old, will quickly take to the streets to block roads for the day for $10 each.  A rather cheap way to inflict possibly fatal political wounds on your political rivals.  And also a rather easy way to provide some food for your family for the day.  

However, when the protests get out of control and the crowds become mobs, when the road blockages become riots and the mob mentality takes over, all safety and security guarantees that should be afforded to private citizens of any democratic country are off of the table.  Such has been the case numerous times this year in Haiti resulting in the US state department declaring Haiti a Level 4 travel risk, the same level of travel risk shared by nations like North Korea, Afghanistan, and Iraq, for a few months this past summer.  But we’re talking about Haiti, our neighbor, just 900 miles from Miami, a 90 minute flight.  The result was economic devastation with hotels and restaurants throughout the impoverished island struggling to survive.  Travel booking sites like Expedia removed, at least for a while, all hotel and flight options to Haiti from their sites.   And not only has the tourism industry been affected but nearly all industry in Haiti.  When it is unsafe to go to work or when it’s unsafe to get home from work or when it’s unsafe to transport your goods to the port for export or when you cannot distribute your goods throughout the country then the entire nation is affected.  And then there are the  ministries or aid organizations operating in Haiti.  For better or for worse you cannot deny the incredible economic boost that foreign ministries and aid organizations provide to the Haitian economy.  Thousands of travelers come every year to Haiti to serve and when they don’t travel the loss of Dollars that are spent to house, host, transport and entertain missions and aid workers is devastating.  Tens of millions of Dollars are invested annually by these organizations as well, invested in everything from from water wells to new houses and schools.  All of which is put at risk when the country is practically shut down.  

The results of a year of political turmoil were seen everywhere on my recent trip.  In a country where brokenness is hardly able to be hidden.  Where the reality of living in a fallen world is ever apparent, not hidden by the excesses of materialism enjoyed by the West, the brokenness is palpable in a different way.  In North-East Haiti, where we focus our efforts, added to the political turmoil has been a prolonged drought which has made growing even the hardiest of crops, such as okra, nearly impossible, much less a crop of Haitian staples like rice, corn, and beans.  As I encountered friends from the rural villages we serve in, men and women alike, the result was obvious.  Malnutrition.  Plainly put everywhere you look the farming families we work with are skinny, bone skinny.  They never were exactly healthy but now these families were for sure suffering.  Another, more subtle result, is stress.  It was noticeable on the faces of our local leadership.  The constant concern over how will I get to this place or that, or if I get there will I get home or worse will I get home safely has taken its toll on our team.  While I was there last week I witnessed hundreds if not thousands of factory workers from the Caracol Industrial Park walking back to their homes in Cap Haitien, some 10 miles away, because their buses could not pass through the numerous road blocks along the way.   This level of stress is exhausting.  While generally a protest or road blockage rarely turns violent the possibility is that it always could.  And yet, day after day, our leaders make our operations happen.  They make it to work.  They make sure that our programs continue.  They make sure that our school can function.  They make sure that the teachers have the materials they need.  They make sure that the kitchen has food for breakfast and lunch everyday.  And they make sure that, even if just for six or seven hours a day,  the children of the Academie Lazare are able to be children, able to enjoy the most basic of things like a plate of food, a classroom to learn in, a playground to play on, and a safespace behind a wall that separates them from the painful reality of their village, their community, and their nation.  

So why bother?  It’s too broken to even fix.  I think that this same conversation could be had often or maybe has been had, between God and Jesus, or perhaps Gabriel and Michael, away from the earshot of God, have discussed this very topic, but in regards to the US, or perhaps even with regards to those “Christians” in the US, or maybe it’s with regards to humanity as a whole.  I don’t really think they are limited or defined by geo-political lines that man has drawn across the globe that seem to somehow indicate that this nation has or has not been deemed worthy.  In the US our strong economy, our good jobs, our nice houses, our facades tend to fool us to believe that we’re not broken when in reality the brokenness of Haiti is ever present in the US as well, we’ve just become skilled experts at covering up the stinch.  No it’s not evidenced by piles of burning trash on the side of the road covered in 300 pound hogs rooting for a meal, or poor roads making travel a nightmare or even by starving families, it’s evidenced by our own divisive politics that is hell bent on dividing our nation by political color or even skin color and by religion.  It’s evidenced by schools and churches, rather than being safe havens they are becoming targets for individuals who are obviously not well, who are broken and are hell bent on forcing their brokenness on others.  It’s evidenced by our economy, not the dire lack of economic activity but rather an obsession with spending and an overwhelming number of families drowning in debt.  It’s evidenced by corporate expansion that defies all logic, generating shareholder wealth at the expense of the most vulnerable in the foerign countries where they manufacture their wares.  So why bother?  It would appear that it’s too broken to even fix.  

We  learn from Jesus’ teachings that he came for all of mankind but his approach was to focus on the 1.  And that as a good pastor he’ll leave 99 behind to go after the 1.  The 1 woman by the well, the one blind man, the one tax collector, the 1 Jarrod, the 1 you, the 1 Haitian.  He’s always been about the individual, that 1!  He ministered 1 by 1, 1 at a time.  He healed 1 by 1, loved 1 by 1, and transformed 1 by 1.  He knew that the brokenness of man could not be cured in mass, rather that individual transformation requires individual attention and when massive numbers of individuals have been transformed then the masses are able to invest in massive numbers of 1.  Jesus knew that his saving ministry individual approach must be shared because serving the individual 1 by 1 was slow and unless there were others doing the same thing many, if not most, would be lost.  His investment in the disciples, 1 by 1, loving them, 1 by 1, correcting them 1 by 1, and encouraging them 1 by 1, put into motion a series of relationships and discipling opportunities that continues to this day, you and I are a direct result of that intentional effort, 1 by 1.  

Back to Haiti.  Would I like to see the city streets of Cap Haitien clean?  Sure.  Would I like to see the beauty of the Haitian countryside restored to what it once was?  Sure.  Would I like to see her coastline sparkling turquoise blue again? Sure.  I’d also like to see an end to brokenness in the US, failed marriages, addiction, abuse, debt, hate, and bigotry.  Sure I would.  But if I only focus on the masses and the enormity of the brokenness then I’ll never notice the impact that I’m having as a disciple of Jesus, one of his ambassadors, one of his representatives on this earth who is investing in the life of one other person.  I do not believe that the social political problems of Haiti, or any country for that matter, will be solved by schemes and strategies to solve social-political problems.  I do however believe, wholeheartedly, that when followers of Jesus invest their time, talent, and treasure in just 1 then there is a ripple effect, that grows exponentially.  Where 1 quickly becomes 10 and 10 quickly becomes 100 and 100 quickly becomes 1,000 and so on and so on.  I gave up on politicians solving the brokenness of our nation or any other nation a long time ago.  But I’ve not given up on believers, like you and I, doing what we can to guarantee that Jesus’s proclamation in John 10:10 not be a lie to billions of people living in brokenness in this world, some rich and some poor, but all broken.  

“I have come that they may have life, and have life in abundance.”  John 10:10

[thevividgreenmoss]

By any reasonable measure, the neoliberal dream lies in tatters. In 2008 poorly regulated financial markets yielded a world-historic financial collapse. One generation, weaned on reveries of home ownership as the coveted badge of economic independence and old-fashioned American striving, has been plunged into foreclosure, bankruptcy, and worse. And a successor generation of aspiring college students is now discovering that their equally toxic student-loan dossiers are condemning them to lifetimes of debt. Both before and after 2008, ours has been an economic order that, largely designed to reward paper speculation and penalize work, produces neither significant job growth nor wages that keep pace with productivity. Meanwhile, the only feints at resurrecting our nation’s crumbling civic life that have gained any traction are putatively market-based reforms in education, transportation, health care, and environmental policy, which have been, reliably as ever, riddled with corruption, fraud, incompetence, and (at best) inefficiency. The Grand Guignol of deregulation continues apace.

In one dismal week this past spring, for example, a virtually unregulated fertilizer facility immolated several blocks of West, Texas, claiming at least fourteen lives (a number that would have been much higher had the junior high school adjoining the site been in session at the time of the explosion), while a shoddily constructed and militantly unregulated complex of textile factories collapsed in Savar, Bangladesh, with a death toll of more than 1,100 workers.

In the face of all this catastrophism, the placid certainties of neoliberal ideology rattle on as though nothing has happened. Remarkably, our governing elites have decided to greet a moment of existential reckoning for most of their guiding dogmas by incanting with redoubled force the basic catechism of the neoliberal faith: reduced government spending, full privatization of social goods formerly administered by the public sphere, and a socialization of risk for the upper class. When the jobs economy ground to a functional halt, our leadership class first adopted an anemic stimulus plan, and then embarked on a death spiral of austerity-minded bids to decommission government spending at the very moment it was most urgently required—measures seemingly designed to undo whatever prospective gains the stimulus might have yielded. It’s a bit as though the board of directors of the Fukushima nuclear facility in the tsunami-ravaged Japanese interior decided to go on a reactor-building spree on a floodplain, or on the lip of an active volcano.

So now, five years into a crippling economic downturn without even the conceptual framework for a genuine, broad-based, jobs-driven recovery shored up by boosts in federal spending and public services, the public legacy of these times appears to be a long series of metaphoric euphemisms for brain-locked policy inertia: the debt ceiling, the fiscal cliff, the sequestration, the shutdown, the grand bargain. Laid side by side, all these coinages bring to mind the claustrophobic imagery of a kidnapping montage from a noir gangster film—and it is, indeed, no great exaggeration to say that the imaginative heart of our public life is now hostage to a grinding, miniaturizing agenda of neoliberal market idolatry. As our pundit class has tirelessly flogged the non-dramas surrounding the official government’s non-confrontations over the degree and depth of the inevitable brokered deal to bring yet more austerity to the flailing American economy, we civilian observers can be forgiven for suspecting that there is, in fact, no “there” there. For all their sound and fury, these set-tos proceed from the same basic premises on both sides, and produce the same outcome: studied retreat from any sense of official economic accountability for, well, anything.

...You’d think that our recent bruising encounters with the devastating fallout from the deregulators’ handiwork in the housing market of the early aughts should, by rights, render Friedman’s complaints about the public sector’s assaults on market virtue the deadest of dead letters. But, if anything, the ritual defense of the market’s sovereign prerogative has dug in that much more intractably as its basic coordinates have been discredited. As critics such as Dean Baker routinely point out, the stalled recovery out of the Great Recession is almost exclusively a function of the failure of our neoliberal economic establishment to speak honestly about a collapsed housing bubble that created a yawning shortfall in demand—a shortfall that, amid the paralysis of credit markets in the same recession, could be jumpstarted only by government stimulus.

All sorts of absurdities have flowed from this magisterial breakdown in comprehension. Since the neoliberal catechism holds that stimulative government spending can never be justified in the long run, much of our debate over the recovery’s prospective course has been given over to speculative nonsense. Chief among these talismanic invocations of free-market faith is the great question of how to placate the jittery job creators. At virtually every turn in the course of debate over how steeply to cut government spending in this recession, our sachems of neoliberal orthodoxy have insisted that any revenue-enhancing move the government so much as contemplated would spook business leaders into mothballing plans to expand operations and add jobs. It became the all-purpose worst-case scenario of first resort. If health care reform passed, if federal deficits expanded, or if marginal tax rates were permitted to rise for the vapors-prone investor class, why, then the whole prospect of a broad-based economic recovery was as good as shot.[*]

And since neoliberalism is most notably a global—or properly speaking, the globalizing—ideology, such pat distortions of economic reality are no longer confined to the Anglo-American political economy. Nor are they confined to strictly cognitive errors in policymaking. The collapse of the Rana Plaza garment factory in Bangladesh has yielded commentary from neoliberals that might well merit entry into the psychiatric profession’s DSM-5 as textbook illustrations of moral aphasia. Here, after all, was a tragedy that would appall even the darkest Victorian imaginings of a Charles Dickens or a Karl Marx: factory workers earning a monthly wage of $38 crowded into a structurally unsound multistory facility built on a foundation of sand above a drained pond. Three stories of the factory had been hastily erected on top of an already unsound existing structure just to house the fresh battalions of underpaid workers demanded by bottom-feeding international textile contractors.

Government inspectors repeatedly demanded that the facility be shuttered on safety grounds, but the plant’s proprietors ignored their citations, reckoning that the short-term gains of maintaining peak production outweighed the negligible threat of a fine or safety citation. Nor was there likely to be any pressure from Western bastions of enlightenment and human rights. The ceremonial stream of Astroturf labor-and-safety-inspecting delegations from Western nations made zero note of the cracked and teetering foundations of the Rana Plaza structure. Lorenz Berzau, the managing director of one such industry consortium (the Business Social Compliance Initiative), primly told the Wall Street Journal that the group isn’t an engineering concern—and what’s more, “it’s very important not to expect too much from the social audit” that his group and other Western overseers conduct on production facilities. And, as Dave Jamieson and Emran Hossain reported in the Huffington Post, labor organizers have long since learned that the auditing groups serve largely as pro forma conduits of impression management for consumer markets in the West. The auditing of manufacturing facilities in the developing world “ends up catering more to the brands involved than the workers toiling on the line,” Jamieson and Hossain write.

Yes, factory owners and managers well understand the permissible bounds of discourse in such Potemkin-style inquiries—and instruct their workforce accordingly. “What to say to the auditors always comes from the owners,” a Bangladeshi line worker named Suruj Miah told the two reporters. “The owners in most cases would warn workers not to say negative things about the factories. Workers are left without a choice.” Sumi Abedin, one of the survivors of an earlier disaster—a factory fire in the nearby Tazreen plant that claimed the lives of 112 workers in November 2012—told the Huffington Post that on the day of an international audit team’s visit, management compelled workers to wear T-shirts designating them as members of a nonexistent fire safety committee, and had them brandishing prop fire-extinguishing equipment that plant managers had procured only for the duration of the audit.

What this disaster ought to have driven through the neoliberal consensus’s collective solar plexus is something close to the polar opposite of its cherished, evidence-proof theory of the captive regulator: a largely cosmetic global watchdog effort funded overwhelmingly by private-sector concerns, far from delivering oversight and accountability, has incentivized fraud and negligence. And conveniently enough, it’s the race-to-the-bottom competitive forces unleashed by the global workplace that ritually sanctify all of this routine dishonesty. In their malignant neglect of worker safety measures, local factory managers are able to cite the same market pressures to maximize production and profit that have prevented the ornamental Western groups conducting audits of workplace safety practices from releasing their findings to the workers at risk of being killed by the neoliberal regime of global manufacturing.

Still, the dogmas of neoliberal market prerogative are far sturdier than a collapsing factory or a raging fire on the production line. If the dogmatists have thrown overboard Hayek-era intellectual values like experimentation and skepticism, at least they can stave off their inevitable extinction by shoring up Friedman-era platitudes and, from the mantles of the nation’s most prestigious universities and op-ed shops, try to pass them off as the nation’s highest common sense. So former University of Chicago law professor Richard Epstein, who helped found the influential law and economics movement that essentially transposed the shibboleths of public choice theory into legal doctrine, has patiently explained that the just and measured response to the collapse of Rana Plaza is to seek enforcement of preexisting building codes across the Bangladeshi private sector. Writing on the heels of the disaster, in the Hoover Institution’s web journal, Defining Ideas, Epstein takes pains to rule out the passage of any “new laws” to improve worker-safety standards or international monitoring efforts.In other words: Bangladeshi workers can either be more safe or starve more rapidly.But lest even this minimal recourse to regulation sound like too heady a plunge into statist remedies, Professor Epstein also cautions that the aggrieved and grieving workers in the Bangladeshi garment trade must not veer recklessly into unionism or other non-market-approved modes of worker self-determination. After all, he reasons, “in order to stave a shutdown off by improving factory safety, the savvy firm will have to raise its asking price from foreign purchasers . . . and may have to lower wages to remain competitive.” (This is another classic myth of the neoliberal faith—the rational “trade-off” between personal safety and wages that the independent broker makes when he or she contracts with an employer to freely exchange time and skills for wages. Only, of course, the notion of such rational choice has been reduced to a bitter farce in workplaces such as Rana Plaza, where the basic human rights of workers are only acknowledged theatrically, for the purposes of Potemkin auditing tours.) A more activist approach to the crisis in global worker safety would create intolerable distress to Epstein’s utopian vision of the carefully calibrated relations of global market production. Sure, the EU might ban exports of clothes bearing the taint of labor exploitation—but such a measure would just perversely create “undeserved economic protection” for EU economies that are net clothing exporters (and by implication, would deprive consumers of the sacred right to the cheapest possible attire that bullied and undercompensated labor can provide).

Fire Retardant Coverall Dubai – Be Safe and Secure in Unwanted Conditions

Fire Retardant Coverall Dubai is available for people who work in hazardous setups. They are made of the best breathable fabrics.

A proper safety plan is quite important when it comes to fire. Creating the right safety plan is not simply creating new rules; it should take on a high priority. The personal protective tool should not just defend a worker against danger, but it is quite comfortable at the same time. In the absence of real comfort in fire retardant clothes, it becomes quite hard for the workers to work in unwanted conditions.

Look for the Highly Comfortable Fire Retardant Clothes

People who are working in a risky environment such as an oil refinery might require wearing f Fire Retardant Coverall Dubai to defend against the possibility of injuries happening in a fire. Meanwhile, the workers shouldn't feel like they have to panic under their coveralls or shielding suits. It is important to wear a moisture-wicking and even a fast-drying t-shirt or base layer lets the air come in and therefore lets the employees complete their jobs.

Sustainable Fashion - The New Frontier

Amid the era of fast fashion, consumers, especially the youth, have developed a new and growing awareness. They are willing to pay a higher price for greener, ethical, and long-lasting garments extending support to counter the exponential climatic and social impact of the fashion industry. The textile industry is responsible for 10% of the global greenhouse emissions . In a society that is always following the latest trends, garments are produced on a cost-cutting scale economies model, as well with materials that are harmful to the environment and to our health, also exploiting underpaid labor. The social and environmental consequences of the choices of the modern consumer are no longer unknown. We are aware of the exploitation of workers by leading global fashion brands since the 1970s. The factories where the garments are produced have working hours that violate the labour laws, and workers are usually underpaid. The pressure on manufacturers often amplifies into intimidation, harassment, coercion and violation of workers’ rights. With the advent of uncontrolled fast fashion, this phenomenon has become increasingly frequent and dangerous, leading to the tragedy of Rana Plaza in Bangladesh on the 24th of April 2013 . In this event 1129 textile workers lost their lives because of the collapse of the building producing clothing for famous fast fashion brands. From that moment, a growing mobilization began to promote greater transparency and accountability in the clothing supply chain. Many countries and international market players have been taking legal measures to ensure greater protection of workers and the environment through laws, certifications and reports.

 As early as the 1970s, and more precisely from 1974, multi-fiber agreements were stipulated between developing countries, the United States and the then European Community. The goal behind these restrictions was to limit the damage of uncontrolled exports of textile products and prevent their effect on the domestic industries of developing countries. This legal protection lasted only until 1995. However, following the events of Rana Plaza, there has been a renewed interest and a new awareness in the ethics of fashion. Following the tragedy, some global brands got together to sign the agreement on “Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh”. This legal agreement lasted for 5 years, and was subsequently renewed for another 8 years; was designed to improve standards in the textile manufacturing sector and to ensure greater safety at work. This is achieved through independent factory inspections, the establishment of elected health and safety committees in factories across the country and direct education plans regarding employee’s health risk prevention regulations. On the same lines of fashion ethics, we find California’s “Transparency in Supply Chain Act” through which the state made it mandatory in 2012 for every clothing store on its territory, to affirm its commitment to protecting workers by ensuring greater transparency and reliability. Another important regulation was the “Modern Slavery Act” introduced in 2015 in the United Kingdom. According to this law, British companies with annual revenues exceeding 36 million pounds must attest to the absence of forms of slavery and trafficking in human beings. Also, France introduced the “Loi sur le devoir de vigilance” in 2017, which provides that companies with headquarters in the national territory and more than 5,000 employees in France and 10,000 worldwide must publish their surveillance plans to prevent serious violations of human rights, fundamental freedoms and the safety of workers and the environment.

 At the same time, from an environmental point of view, the world of design and fashion s urged to respond to new production criteria, including the sustainability of garments. Consumers, especially the younger ones belonging to the Millennial and Gen Z generation, have demanded greater transparency, the use of innovative and environmentally friendly materials and more durable garments. The fashion industry, responding to these increasingly pressing demands, has introduced products derived from organic, vegan and recycled materials made with a less harmful process, which requires less water and avoids the use of pollutants.

For instance, Greenpeace joined in promoting awareness of the environmental impact of our garments. In 2011, in the “Dirty Cloths” report, the NGO denounced the use of dangerous substances used in the production of major clothing brands. In fact, these substances are released into the environment after washing the garments and once dispersed in water, are transformed into nonylphenol, a toxic compound capable of altering the human hormonal system even at low concentrations.

 Although major steps were taken towards material certifications and the laws that promote the continuous fight against all forms of modern slavery, it is important to recognize that we are still far from a satisfactory result. Both at the European and global level, there are too few laws and these are mainly addressed to big brands with scarce and sporadic measures.
