Today in Labor History November 14, 1903: The National Women's Trade Union League formed in Boston. Their goals were to get more women unionized and to end sweat shops. They supported many of the major strikes of the 1900s-1910s and helped pave the way for the ILGWU and ACWA. They were influenced by the settlement house movement and Jane Addams. And they also fought for women’s suffrage. The WTUL played a major role in the Uprising of the 20,000, the New York City and Philadelphia shirtwaist workers' strike. They provided a strike headquarters, raised funds for soup kitchens and bail for picketers, provided legal defense for arrested picketers, marched on the picket lines, and organized marches to publicize the workers' demands.

each time I see Amazon Mechanical Turk, I wonder how SJW are not all over this

kkarhan,

@kaia WTF!?

This is just #combining the disadvantages of #Fiverr, #AWS & #Sweatshops with 0 advantages.

Also I'm convinced they don't care about that because the people doing these #Shitjobs ain't in the Global "North"...

Just like shitty #EcoHipster|s don't care that their #BatteryElectricVehicles' production es even more envoirmentally disastrous than a regular car and it's fuel...

kkarhan,

@icedquinn @kaia so basically what I just said:

"This is just #combining the disadvantages of #Fiverr, #AWS & #Sweatshops with 0 advantages."

10 years ago today, more than a thousand garment workers died in when the Rana Plaza, a Bangladeshi factory, tragically collapsed.

Global brands and local companies pledged to do more to make sure the clothes sold in Western stories were produced in safer factories.

For a few years, things improved. But many of the worker-protection initiatives have been canceled or expired.
