Another model for a professional sports teams: The Green Bay Packers, with their 13 NFL titles, are a non-profit organization. No need for greedy billionaires AT ALL. And Green Bay hardly qualifies as a city, more like a big town. Of course, the NFL bans other teams from doing this. Wonder why?

Open the rather beige covers of one Trades Union Congress file & you're faced with sketches of servant dreams... In 1938 the National Union of Domestic Workers was formed to campaign for fairer working conditions for servants A faint Cinderella & noticeably narked 'Me' feature in the initial plans
A couple of documents in an open archive file (MSS.292/54.76/10). One item is a sheet from a telephone message pad with notes and sketches for publicity material for a new (in 1938) National Union of Domestic Workers. These include a drawing of a maid with her hands on her hips ('Me') being pointed at by 'Ma'am' and the slogan 'I MUST JOIN ToDAY!'. The other item is a red leaflet issued by the earlier Domestic Workers' Union of Great Britain with the title 'Are you sure you have a character?'. It argues that it should be compulsory for employers to given an open character note or reference for their servants when they change jobs.Faint sketch of a a woman washing up in a kitchen whilst couples dance and drink in a thought bubble. It's captioned 'Cinderella'.The Charter for Domestic Workers, issued by the National Union of Domestic Workers in 1938. It includes demands relating to working hours, wages, living accommodation, food, holidays, uniform, visitors, address (how the employer addresses you) and termination of contract.
