"SEES LIVES MENACED IN HOSPITAL AND JAIL," Toronto Star. March 27, 1934. Page 1. ---- Improper Installations, Organizer for Steamfitters Declares ---- There was a sharp clash between W. A. Baird (High Park) and John Bruce, organizer for the Steamfitters' Union, before the labor committee of the legislature to-day when a bill sponsored by Hon. J. M. Robb, minister of health and labor, came before the committee. There was a sharp clash between W. A. Baird (High Park) and John Bruce, organizer for the Steamfitters' Union, before the labor committee of the legislature to-day when a bill sponsored by Hon. J. M. Robb, minister of health and labor, came before the committee.
The bill is aimed to license and regulate master and journeymen steamfitters and plumbers in the installation of heating systems.
Mr. Bruce stated that a man at the Home for Incurables, who is an electrician, was installing a system with the aid of a fireman. "The whole thing is criminal and anything is liable to happen in that place," he declared.
"That is a slanderous statement," said Mr. Baird. "The man is a first-class engineer besides being an electrician. I can prove it. I am vice-chairman on the board of the Home for Incurables. This is just a fight between the stationary engineers and steamfitters."
Mr. Bruce said he could prove his charge. Mr. Baird challenged him to do so.
Mr. Bruce also stated that at present at the Toronto jail a system of heating under a 50-pound pressure is being improperly installed. "Anything is liable to happen there. The situation has added danger with the prisoners cooped up in their cells at night," he said.
"Isn't it true that in each case you speak of, Mr. Bruce, there isn't a qualified stationary engineer in charge of the work?" the chairman asked. Mr. Bruce did not answer and the chairman stated the committee was only interested in the principle of the bill and not in a private feud.
It was decided to meet again tomorrow at 10 a.m. to discuss the bill.

This isn't all my job, or even a large part, but I did once spend a week on a roof alone straightening the fins on rooftop condensor coils after a hail storm and it was great. Just me, a tiny screw driver and a radio.

JOIN A TRADE UNION!
Pensions sound so fake as a zillennial. You work for one place for decades (already sounds fake) and then afterwards you leave and they just. keep paying you. the same amount of money. to do nothing. for the rest of your life. if i wasn't already aware that this was something that readily and commonly existed during my grandparent's days then it would sound like some kind of socialist pipe dream

On this day, 6 February 1919, perhaps the most spectacular strike in US history took place: the Seattle general strike. Nearly 100,000 downed tools in support of striking shipyard workers but, more importantly, then elected a general strike committee and began running the city and essential services themselves. While the shipyard workers did not get their pay increase, the five-day general strike was a historic and successful experiment demonstrating that workers could run society ourselves. After the strike ended, the newspaper of the Central Labor Council, the Union Record, explained its importance: "We see but one way out. In place of two classes competing for the fruits of industry, there must be, eventually only one class sharing fairly the good things of the world. And this can only be done by the workers learning to manage. "When we saw in our General Strike: The Milk Wagon Drivers consulting late into the night over the task of supplying milk for the city’s babies; The Provision Trades working twenty-four hours out of the twenty-four on the question of feeding 30,000 workers; The Barbers planning a chain of co-operative barber shops; The steamfitters opening a profitless grocery store; The Labor Guards facing, under severe provocation, the task of maintaining order by a new and kinder method; When we saw union after union submitting its cherished desires to the will of the General Strike Committee: then we rejoiced. For we knew it was worth the four or five days pay apiece to get this education in the problems of management. Whatever strength we found in ourselves, and whatever weakness, we knew we were learning the thing which it is necessary for us to know. "Someday, when the workers have learned to manage, they will begin managing. And we, the workers of Seattle, have seen, in the midst of our General Strike, vaguely and across the storm, a glimpse of what the fellowship of that new day shall be." https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/2203657846486020/?type=3

the Miners & Steamfitters Union is probably the most “good guys” team in Malifaux, cos theyre a union and they stick it to the man. Theyre also a front for the Arcanists, a secret society of sorcerer types.
This part of the union works on the rails & steam engines that keep commerce flowing, theyre lead by Mei Feng who hits with the speed & power of a freight train

I didn't finish my degree, but I did come into college a sophomore, and I am a journeyman steamfitter. Even if I had finished my degree, it's very unlikely it would have yielded a better job than my union construction job. Also, the attitude of people in my line of work is infinitely better than any office culture.
