    Port Adelaide’s #strike caused by a retrogressive federal award for #watersideworkers so striking wharfies attacked #strikebreakers AS Blackburn V.C. formed the Essential Services Maintenance Volunteers and 500 middle-class men were sworn in as special constables. Blackburn’s ‘Black and Tans’ patrolled the port with rifle and bayonet. #Scabs got jobs

  8. CW: Long thread/11

    These aren't just any scabs, either. They're predominantly Black workers who rely on the $700m #Instawork app for gigs. These workers are being dispatched to cross the picket line without any warning that they're being contracted as #strikebreakers. When workers refuse the cross the picket and join the strike, Instawork cancels all their shifts and permanently blocks them from new jobs.

    This is a new, technologically supercharged form of illegal strikebreaking.

  13. He dismissed as “nonsense” and “silly” any talk of a general strike to back the AP Parts workers. Owen Bieber [Photo: UAW].

    The 285-day strike by Toledo AP Parts workers was the longest in the history of the city and bears important lessons for autoworkers today.
