In LA's Fashion District, many workers endure sweatshop conditions for as little as $3 an hour. Despite the glitz of the fashion industry, these immigrants face unsafe work environments and exploitation. It's crucial to be aware of their struggles and advocate for their rights. Together, we can drive change. #LaborRights #FashionIndustry #Sweatshops #HumanRights #LAWorkers

You can spot bullshit journalism by scanning intent - and omissions.

First, intent: creating FUD to coerce #protectionism against #China, without calling it protectionism, because protectionism bad - unless it's there to protect US private interests, in which case protectionism good!

Second, omission: which goddamn toy manufacturer does NOT rely upon #sweatshops? All western toy producers do this in the east and global south.

Today in Labor History March 4, 1933: Frances Perkins became U.S. Secretary of Labor, the first female member of the United States Cabinet. As labor secretary, she helped develop the social security system in 1935. She also played an important role in the development of other New Deal programs. And in 1939, she came under fire from Congress for refusing to support the deportation of ILWU chief, Harry Bridges, who they accused of being a Communist. As a young woman, Perkins worked with Florence Kelly, a social and political organizer who fought against sweatshops and for the minimum wage, eight-hour workday and children’s rights. Kelley was a follower of Karl Marx and a friend of Friedrich Engels. Perhaps for these reasons, people accused Perkins of being a Communist, which she was not. Perkins had also volunteered at Hull House, with Jane Addams.

Today in Labor History November 16, 1932: Betsabé Espinal Espinal died. She was a Colombian labor rights activist and leader of the 1920 workers' strike against a fabric factory in Bello, Colombia, the first Colombian strike led by women. That strike was considered to have made a significant impact on the rights of female workers. The strike lasted for nearly a month and ended when the owner agreed to a 40% raise, a 9-hour work day, and to fire any male foremen accused of sexually harassing the women. Prior to the strike, girls as young as eight toiled in the factory for up to 12 hours each day. Betsabé Espinal was fired for her efforts. She died at the age of 36 from an accidental electrocution.
