"Short Week Protested By Workers," Windsor Star. September 27, 1943. Page 3. --- Mass Demonstration Will Be Staged by Employes on Saturday ---- Curtailment of working hours in Windsor plants will be protested next Saturday afternoon by a parade of workers to City Hall Park. Plans for the parade resulted from a meeting of the Windsor Labor Council held last night to discuss the shorter week which many plants have had in effect due to shortages of materials and manpower.

APPROVE ACTION The council approved action taken by a planning committee of the U.A.W.-C.I.O. which has tentatively laid out a mass demonstration protest at which it is expected sitting members of parliament, both federal and provincial, will be asked to speak. A written protest went from the meeting to Hon. C. D. Howe, minister of munitions and supply. It reads: "Windsor Labor Council strenuously protests the curtailment of war production in industry at this time. We demand to know the reason as the war is still in a critical stage."

Further plans for the event will be discussed at a meeting of labor groups tonight in the Chatham street east hall of Local 195, U.A.W.

Thomas Maclean, assistant regional director of the U.A.W., explained today that Ford workers have been on short time for some weeks past. The five-day week, he said, has replaced the former six-day basis. Other plants are similarly affected.

"The war is not won by any means yet," Mr. Maclean explained this morning. "It won't be won by plants going on five days a week. If a shortage of material is the reason then it is high time labor was taken into consultation to remedy the situation.

"The short week is not good for the morale of the workers who are glad to buy Victory Bonds and make their contribution to victory. They can't buy Victory Bonds on short time when they previously made commitments to buy bonds on a full-time basis of employment. Workers who are employed Saturday afternoons are asked not to attend the demonstration until their day's work is completed.

UNIONS REPRESENTED All U. A. W. groups and unions of the Canadian Congress of Labor pa ticipated in last night's meeting.

Priorities Branch of the Department of Munitions and Supply in Windsor had nothing to say for publication on the announcement from the unions, except to state that supplies of vital materials constituted a national problem, not one which affected Windsor alone. No unusual increase has occurred in priority applications in this district, it was explained.

Brass is one of the materials claimed to be difficult to get. Steel, another vital material, must now be applied for through the Toronto office before final disposition is made of applications. Formerly, steel orders were handled without recourse to Toronto.

Among the things which labor groups will ask is that they be given a voice in production problems confronting steel manufacturers. Many labor leaders have insisted since the war began that they have suggestions which would be helpful to producers. They have pointed out that employer-employe councils in the industry could do much to improve the situation.

the thing about labru vs kabumisu is that both of them have the same core appeal to me, specifically from kabru's side of things: kabru being someone who is constantly agonizing about social rules and putting on the right mask, and meeting this Weird Fucking Guy who does not (cannot) care about all those things, and so kabru slowly allows himself to be more genuine. they're both such good relationships (whether you view them romantically or platonically), why must there be so much hostility between enjoyers of these ships?

I am so sick of things not fitting me! I can't find good form fitting tops because I HAVE to get them in a large or else they'll stretch out too much across the bust, but then they look weird on my tiny waist. Loose fitting tops just make me look fat. Scoop and v necks make my bust look smaller, but then they're too long from my shoulders to where I need them to be because I'm a petite.

And I cannot for the love of God find any good sites for ideas on why to do because most places assume larger bust=larger rib cage. Or they assume that it's typically older women, so all the fashion makes me look like a mom. LIKE I'M A 32G WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!
