Today in 1859
John Brown and his followers, both Black and white, launched their epic and ill-fated raid on Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, to attack the horrific system of chattel slavery. While unsuccessful, Brown’s raid did more than almost anything else in the 1850s to highlight the differences between northern and southern labor systems and the moral bankruptcy of the latter.

No End for Boeing Labor Strike As Workers Reject Latest Offer
Posted On: Oct 24, 2024
Oct. 24, 2024 | STRIKES | Boeing factory workers voted against the company’s latest contract offer and remain on the picket lines six weeks into a strike that has stopped production of the aerospace giant’s bestselling jetliners. Local union leaders in Seattle said 64% of members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers who cast ballots Wednesday voted against accepting the contract offer. “After 10 years of sacrifices, we still have ground to make up, and we’re hopeful to do so by resuming negotiations promptly,” Jon Holden, the head of the IAM District 751 union, said in a statement Wednesday evening. “This is workplace democracy — and also clear evidence that there are consequences when a company mistreats its workers year after year.” AP News
