Today in 1944
Two ammunition ships explode at Port Chicago, Calif., killing 322, including 202 African-Americans assigned by the Navy to handle explosives. It was the worst home-front disaster of World War II. The resulting refusal of 258 African-Americans to return to the dangerous work underpinned the trial and conviction of 50 of the men in what is called the Port Chicago Mutiny.

Trump Administration Reverses NIOSH Cuts After Worker Outcry
Posted On: Jan 18, 2026
Jan. 18, 2026 | WORKPLACE SAFETY | Under immense pressure from working people, the Trump administration has reversed its dangerous cuts to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). This is a major victory for worker safety, and it belongs to all of us. In April, NIOSH faced devastating cuts impacting nearly 90% of the agency’s staff, threatening to dismantle the only federal agency dedicated to groundbreaking safety research. It was one of the largest attacks on worker safety in U.S. history. But the labor movement and working people persisted, and we were victorious. IATSE
