This Day in Labor History: October 4, 1971. President Richard Nixon used the Taft-Hartley Act’s cool-down clauses to stop a longshoremen’s strike that was primarily over the response to containerization on ships. Let's talk about the ILWU's strong unionism and how they fought containerization!

Because my Chicago White Sox are playing the Cleveland Guardians in the playoffs, I was subjected to a dishonest anti-trans TV ad that Republicans are running in Ohio to distract from their vandalism of the economy. There are no limits to what Republicans will do for money and power.

President Trump gives out Tom Cotton's cell number over the daylight savings bill.
Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
Everybody in Arkansas, Tom Cotton, a friend of mine, is holding up a very important Bill. It's called,
"The Sunshine Protection Act" or, "We Don't Want to Change Our Clocks Twice a Year Act." For some reason, Tom is stopping the Bill and, in the Senate, it's very easy to do, it only takes one! It should pass overwhelmingly, in a Bipartisan fashion. So, everyone in Arkansas, a State I love, and won 3 times, the last by by 34 points, tell Tom to, GET IT DONE! It will be appreciated by all. Nobody wants to spend their precious time running all over the place, turning Clocks back twice a year and, having sunshine in the afternoon is better than early in the morning! The PGA TOUR, as an example, needs more Daylight in the afternoon in order to finish their Tournaments. Likewise, regular Golfers, Tennis Players, Hunters and, perhaps most importantly, Farmers who want more Daylight to play or work. See letter from Brian Rolapp, CEO of the PGA TOUR below. 65% PLUS want more sun in the afternoon, Daylight Saving Time (The way it is now!), but 100% don't want to change their Clocks twice a year. They want to, as they say, "LOCK THE CLOCK!" Who doesn't? It's very expensive for our Nation where you have high and dangerous steeples to reach, like on churches and municipal buildings. Almost everybody wants
"The Sunshine Protection Act" to pass, except for Tom Cotton. To the Great People of Arkansas,

At a really fundamental level Leo XIV is just a person with sound, well-reasoned, moral stances on the world and how life should be lived who isn't afraid to say those things in public. That kind of person simply does not make sense to business leaders and politicians for whom speech is convenience.

Because he did his job so well, he wasn’t able to turn his dissertation into a boo -until now. I am so delighted for him. Congratulations, Craig! 🗃️🗺️
