Today in Labor History July 10, 1894: The Pullman Rail Car strike was put down by 14,000 federal and state troops. Over the course of the strike, soldiers killed 70 American Railway Union (ARU) members. Eugene Debs and many others were imprisoned during the strike for violating injunctions. Debs founded the ARU in 1893. The strike began, in May, as a wildcat strike, when George Pullman laid off employees and slashed wages, while maintaining the same high rents for his company housing in the town of Pullman, as well as the excessive rates he charged for gas and water. During the strike, Debs called for a massive boycott against all trains that carried Pullman cars. While many adjacent unions opposed the boycott, including the conservative American Federation of Labor, the boycott nonetheless affected virtually all train transport west of Detroit. Debs also called for a General Strike, which Samuel Gompers and the AFL blocked. At its height, over 200,000 railway workers walked off the job, halting dozens of lines, and workers set fire to buildings, boxcars and coal cars, and derailed locomotives. Clarence Darrow successfully defended Debs in court against conspiracy charges, arguing that it was the railways who met in secret and conspired against their opponents. However, they lost in their Supreme Court trial for violating a federal injunction.

By the 1950s, the town of Pullman had been incorporated into the city of Chicago. Debs became a socialist after the strike, running for president of the U.S. five times on the Socialist Party ticket, twice from prison. In 1905, he cofounded the radical IWW, along with Lucy Parsons, Mother Jones, Big Bill Haywood and Irish revolutionary James Connolly. In 1894, President Cleveland designated Labor Day a federal holiday, in order to detract from the more radical May 1st, which honored the Haymarket martyrs and the struggle for the 8-hour day. Legislation for the holiday was pushed through Congress six days after the Pullman strike ended, with the enthusiastic support of Gompers and the AFL.

Hello folks! Next Saturday (19th) is Small Press Day and that means I will be promoting my stuff online and behind a table.

Yes, that's right! I'll be advertising the online store I forget to tell people about all the time AND you can come see my face in person (likely getting more tipsy throughout the day)

So, if you are in/near/fancy a trip to Leeds to see a selection of West Yorkshire's comic creators and their wares, do come along! The place is air conditioned so even if we have another weekend heatwave it'd be the perfect place to hide out from the angry sun.

PS: if you tell me you're from the fediverse you might get a lil freebie or discount!

I know there are legal intricacies in defining a 'class’ for a class action suit.

But,

In my naive brain it sure seems like many of the actions taken by this charade of gov’t could easily be defined as harming a class of individuals.

'Zorgsector is kampioen datalekken'

"De sector Gezondheid & welzijn was in 2024 opnieuw koploper in het aantal datalekmeldingen. Dat blijkt uit de jaarlijkse datalekkenrapportage van de Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP)."

"In de sector Gezondheid & welzijn werden afgelopen jaar in totaal 6.873 datalekken gemeld. Geen enkele andere sector meldt zoveel incidenten, openbaar bestuur staat op de tweede plek met 4.874 meldingen. De negatieve koppositie van de zorgsector “is te verklaren omdat deze sector relatief veel en gevoelige persoonsgegevens verwerkt”, aldus het rapport. Medische gegevens, burgerservicenummers en financiële informatie zijn waardevolle doelwitten voor criminelen."

"Zorginstellingen melden bovendien vaker dan andere sectoren ook kleine incidenten, mede doordat zij onder strenge wetgeving vallen. Het gaat in de zorg dan ook vaak om relatief kleine incidenten, zoals verkeerd geadresseerde medische brieven of e-mails."

"In de zomer van 2024 kreeg de AP meerdere meldingen binnen van datalekken waarbij medewerkers persoonsgegevens invoerden in AI-chatbots. Hierdoor kregen de exploitanten van deze tools ongeoorloofde toegang tot patiëntgegevens."

Democracy Now speaks with United Nations expert Francesca Albanese, one day after the Trump administration announced it is imposing sanctions on her over her advocacy for Palestinian rights.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio characterized Albanese's work as "political and economic warfare" against the United States and its allies.

"It seems that this administration is quite allergic to justice," says Albanese.
