Today in Labor History April 18, 1914: IWW workers in Taft, California, continued their strike against Standard Oil. It was the first strike ever against the company. The workers demanded an eight-hour day and a 50-cents raise.

Who the F does he think he is.

What could possible go wrong...

Worth recalling that the monopolies that developed in the 'Gilded Age' provoked antitrust and other competition legislation. Famously #standardoil was broken up under the #shermanact. So there is precedent for this !

Oregon, Monroe, Benton County. The Wilhelm mill closed ten years ago and service station "used to be quite a trading center around here until they had good roads."

The image shows a vintage scene from the mid-20th century. In the foreground, there is an old-fashioned gas station with two pumps and a small convenience store. Above the store, the sign reads "Standard Oil" indicating it's a branch of the Standard Oil company.

Behind the gas station stands an aged wooden grain elevator with the text "GRAIN BELONGING TO THE WILLIAM MILL COMPANY." The presence of this grain elevator suggests that this location was once a significant trading center for agricultural products.

The sky is overcast, and there's a hint of dirt on the ground, indicating the rural nature of this setting. A few people can be seen in the background, likely customers or passersby from the era when the photograph was taken. The overall ambiance of the image conveys a sense of history and nostalgia for an earlier time in American life.

@EposVox because #MediaConcentration doesn't result in any regulatory action whatsoever?

Tue fact that #Corporationsncan pull #Adobe / #AutoDesk / #StandardOil moves without consequences is problematic...

#MichaelAndTeene-15:
The #StandardOil trial [1908] proved it secured illegal railroad discounts, blocked fuel usage, spied on competitors, & bribed officials.
Is this what @IMFNews & @IEA may unleash?

#MichaelAndTeene-14:
Do @IMFNews fuel taxes & "estimates", prove:-
Negligence (its old estimate damaged the futures trading sector)?
Misconduct (global #StandardOil-style mergers)?

@hexaheximal@blob.cat @esm @hexaheximal@wetdry.world Shit like #Discord is an abomination and #Microsoft only won because regulators are systematically dysfunctional, corrupt and staffed with #TechIlliterates, otherwise all the #GAFAMs, #Adobe and #Autodesk among others would've been forcibly disbanded the same way #StandardOil was.

Microsoft feared #Linux but nowadays they basically gave up on #Desktop and #Server OSes since #Xbox, #Office365 & #Azure make the real profits & margins!

> ... to remember about the old octopuses, the #SouthernPacific and #StandardOil.. arose in new resource landscapes.. unregulated.. They helped create the obscene economic disparity.. stir up the ire of working people. What followed on the Gilded Age was the age of #progressivism the age that broke up the monopolies, regulated industry, and articulated a fierce vision of economic justice and rights for workers.

#GreatDepression2024-11:
The latest news is, #StandardOil/@Chevron has decided to accept the @fairwork_gov_au's terms to (potentially) end the strike at its #LNG plants.
From a futures-trading perspective, what necessitated this choice:-
@chevron negotiators or @chevron policies?

#GreatDepression2024-10:
@UAW has @Chrysler/@Stellantis, @gm & @Ford considering sacrificing #US market share; @UniforTheUnion is squeezing @Ford productivity; how may #StandardOil/@Chevron abide by production goals sans satisfying its employees...hopefully not via illegal labor?

@GreatDepression2024-4:
Could the seeming inability of the executives at @gm, @Ford, & [@Chrysler parent] @Stellantis, to satisfy @UAW demands, be aggravated by:-
The drop in interest from #Japanese counterparts?
The #StandardOil/@Chevron dispute with its employees in #Australia?

#StandardOilvsBonds-2:
Under what law may @IMFNews (i.e. @un) prioritize the #StandardOil/@Chevron gas dispute to such lengths, that it seemingly jeopardizes the #PakistanEnergySukukII (& the whole bond sector) by compelling countless gas/power disconnections sans a grace period?
