#OtD 26 May 1937 organisers from the United Automobile Workers union were brutally beaten by Ford company thugs as they tried to leaflet a Detroit plant. Despite the repression, the company caved three years later and recognised the unionhttps://libcom.org/history/battle-overpass

A great read that brings to light the dangers these chemicals carry. Read the report chemical companies don’t want you to understand. These chemicals are killing fire fighters https://t.co/yl0gj3eykW

G&M: The killer had a "passion for policing"? Did he enjoy long walks & poetry too? You're writing about our worst mass shooter, not delivering his eulogy. He's not passionate about policing...he's not a police officer but he did just kill one among many other innocent people.

.@CoopRefinery your chance to bargain was during mediation when we brought several proposals to address your concerns. You took bargaining so seriously you didn't even bring your manager of pensions. It's clear you never wanted to bargain. Stop lying to members. #skpoli

A year ago today we lost a brother, husband, son, uncle and friend. Skyler Blackie passed away tragically in the Line of Duty. Especially today we remember a great man who was always looking out for others. We all strive to #bemorelikeskyler
