"THREE UNIONS HEARD ERE WORKERS CHOOSE," Toronto Star. July 22, 1943. Page 2. --- Joint Meeting Held in Jarvis Sees Machinists' Group Given Mandate ---- In Jarvis Tuesday evening spokesmen for three unions - two affiliated with the C.I.O. and one with the A.F. of L. - placed their cases before workers of two war plants and then asked the workers to vote for the union they wanted to represent them.
The three unions were the United Steelworkers of America, C.I.O., the United Automobile Workers of America. C.I.O., and the International Association of Machinists. A.F. of L. After hearing the representatives of all three, a majority of the workers voted for the machinists.
The workers were from the John Bertram Machinery Co. and the Pratt and Whitney Co.. both of Jarvis. Russell Harvey. A.F. of L. organizer and one of the men to speak on behalf of the machinists' union, said today the vote was "informal" and no agreement has been made with either of the companies, whereby the companies will bargain collectively with the union chosen.
"Our organization program is just getting under way in the plants," he said, "but we consider Tuesday's meeting something new and an excellent method of enabling workers to choose the union they want to represent them."
The joint meeting was held at the request of the workers, who stated their desire in a petition signed by 80 per cent. of their number.
Alex Reith. grand lodge representative of the International Association of Machinists, said the three unions had made a "gentleman's agreement" whereby the losers will not attempt to organize in the two plants.

FATAL ERROR//. abort operation.
#my art#hi fi rush#hi fi rush chai#chai hi fi rush#uhhhhhh#gore#?#im so self conscious about this one is its insane#blood#something something chai from the very beginning was treated like a object a product made in a factory#put on a cold metal slab operated on by machines instead of an operation table in the care of doctors#anyways isnt it fucking crazy that chais arm was just lasered off#the inspiration behind this piece is. what if that got fucked up

Isopuppy's got legs for DAYS
Just need to get the top carapace on and write up the tutorial, and y'all can make your own Good Dog.
My baby spent most of the morning crawl-chasing me around, desperately pointing at the pupper to be allowed a hug (which she was finally granted just before nap time when I got the back seam closed, and she hugged it So Hard, then gummed those antennae real good). Toddler is demanding he be allowed to sleep with it tonight. So isopups are VERY snugglable, is what I'm saying.
#I love that white fabric now that it's all sewn up#that white fabric was THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE while working with it#Had to get out a vacuum to deal with how much it was shedding#Had to literally have a dedicated outfit to sacrifice to the shedding that I changed in and out of before approaching that fabric#Had to WEAR A MASK at the sewing machine to keep it out of my mouth#There are people in a fabric factory somewhere dying of Faux Fur Lung there's no way there aren't#Anyway looking forward to the shell!#The non-shedding shell!#Salvage#The amazing isopuppy#avatar the last airbender#atla#Sewing

i'm a weaver my time is spent sitting at looms and spinning wheels and sewing machines and dye pots, and my ability to make any money at all comes from the fact that my work can't be truly reproduced by machine and speaks to my own and others' desire to reconnect with acts of making and living that are slower and emphasize the physicality of our lives, that we are present in our bodies in a physical world and we are sensorial creatures who relate to each other and the world through tactile means. it serves as a reminder that there is a lot we can do away from screens, that there is joy and meaning to be found in creating something with your hands, and that through this we can find channels to address and learn to live with grief and loss without running from the fact that we are living animals with meatbodies and a finite amount of time.
i think it would be very easy for me to fall into a trap where all modern technology is bad and we need to escape it at all costs and to take a luddite approach to technology - literally a luddite approach, because the phrase "luddite" comes from workers in england during the industrial revolution who destroyed machinery in cotton and wool mills to protest the introduction of that machinery as cost saving measures by the capitalists. but the problem in that situation wasn't inherently the machinery that processed cotton and wool more efficiently, it was that the people who owned the factories used that technology as an excuse to pay fewer workers and maximize profit while creating more unsafe working conditions for the workers that remained. in a situation where the workers owned the factory and the machinery, the introduction of this machinery wouldn't have necessarily been harmful but rather potentially helpful to the workers, for whom more free time wouldn't be a death sentence and proper precautions in the use of the machinery to protect human life could be prioritized
i don't want to make the mistake of confusing technology or some other boogeyman as my enemy. the enemy is capitalism, and i choose to prioritize class consciousness over my private existential worries about new technological developments. all the tech we use is made by humans, just like this economic system we live in. we have the capacity to dismantle economic systems and build new ones, just as we have the capacity to use the tech we make in ways that benefit rather than harm us and the world we live in. my gut tendency is to be distrustful of new tech but i have to remind myself that it isn't helpful and it obfuscates what's actually going on.
#as a weaver and dyer and spinner my enemy isnt weaving or spinning or dying factories#i could never produce cloth at the capacity needed to meet human needs and i dont want to#and my concern above all is the mistreatment of workers in these factories whose hands know the same things mine do#those machines and the materials it makes and requires can be used in ways that dont cause so much harm

Something very satisfying in weaving meters of the same fabric and seeing it wrapping around the cloth beam.

anyway speaking of Varric being a mob boss, nowhere has this been made more apparent than in playing a Cadash. You would Think that a rogue Carta agent adrift in a sea of variably-hostile humans would latch right onto Varric in early Inquisition (also a criminal! and another dwarf! and dragged around by Cassandra against his will!) and it's not that Bodkin *didn't* do that, exactly, but I think Bodkin is
a) cunning enough to see through a lot of Varric's bullshit from day 1
and more importantly b) like he knows?? who Varric Tethras is?? the humans know Varric Tethras is a famous author but any Carta worth their salt is gonna know that Varric is descended from a fuckin once-noble house of Orzammar with Paragon(s) and a king and Steward of the Assembly in their line, and he's only one generation removed from allll that prestige, and also rich as hell thanks to Bartrand. He's a voting member of the prestigious Merchant's Guild, as much as he is always saying that they're after him. Even when he was pretending to be an idle younger brother with a writing habit, he was still running a spy network and by this point it definitely rivals Leliana's. Not to mention Varric and Hawke personally kill off Carta gang members in da2 so odds are good a Cadash tasked with spying on the Conclave knows about that too.
all of which to say the vibe of Cadash meeting Varric Tethras is one where like: you're a grunt, maybe a medium-level grunt, and you're having the worst day of your life. You've just stumbled out of the Fade, you get threatened with execution, and the next guy you meet is The rival mob boss, and you just have to grin and bear it in front of all these trigger-happy humans
#or to put it another way#bodkin cadash is a little hourly wage guy putting in his hours at the crime factory#while varric tethras owns the factory in the next town over and maybe pushed one of your friend's friends into one of its machines one time#the gull rambles#varric tethras#bodkin cadash#dragon age

Crowded table to table, textile workers lean over their machines, sewing clothing in the Garment District, June 28, 1944. New York had always been the chief producer of clothing in the U.S. but it also became a fashion center during World War II, when Parisian fashion was unavailable.
