Bob's father, Robert W. Tayek, served as vice president of @local4afm. Both father and son were a pleasure to be around.

It is with great sadness we share the news that our longtime public address announcer, Bob Tayek, has passed away today. For nearly three decades, Bob was the voice of Progressive Field, welcoming generations of fans to Cleveland baseball with warmth, professionalism and a presence that became part of the ballpark experience.

Please keep Bob’s family, friends and all who worked alongside him in your thoughts during this difficult time.

Chicago was immensely important for the history of the global labor movement. Yet a random visitor here would never know it. Any given day you could book 100 Al Capone tours. There’s nothing on Haymarket. The Illinois Labor History Society occasionally puts on events but their office isn’t open to the public and nobody picks up the phone when you call them.

Haymarket is the reason May 1st is an international labor holiday. It’s hardly an accident that it’s not observed where it began. Americans celebrate our Labor Day in September in order to erase our connection to this shared history. The point is to always give the impression that the labor movement is something foreign and not deeply American. Our unions were once militant, today they are mostly bureaucratic arms of the Democratic Party.

Organizations of Americans workers who knew their history would represent a threat to the status quo. That history teaches that there are ways to do politics and exercise power besides just voting every four years.

My friend Todd died. He was vice president of @local4afm. Fiery, smart, well-spoken and a whole lot of fun. He let me know when I was right and when I was full of shit with equal enthusiam. He was my right arm. I am so grateful in my grieving. Thank you, my friend.
