Tea drinkers take note: the ethical labelling is not doing its job - tea pickers are living below the poverty line and without adequate access to drinking water, toilets and healthy living conditions. A big issue is the brands are not paying enough for the tea leaves they buy:

“Consumers are not demanding cheap teas. It’s traded down by the brands,” he said. “So how do you move out of the vicious cycle? It’s up to the brands to make that first move.”

Today in Labor History February 3, 1910: Mary Harris "Mother" Jones addressed Milwaukee brewery workers during a two-month stint working alongside women bottle-washers while on leave from the United Mine Workers:

"Condemned to slave daily in the wash-room in wet shoes and wet clothes, surrounded with foul-mouthed, brutal foremen . . . the poor girls work in the vile smell of sour beer, lifting cases of empty and full bottles weighing from 100 to 150 pounds, in their wet shoes and rags, for they cannot buy clothes on the pittance doled out to them. . . . Rheumatism is one of the chronic ailments and is closely followed by consumption . . . An illustration of what these girls must submit to, one about to become a mother told me with tears in her eyes that every other day a depraved specimen of mankind took delight in measuring her girth & passing comments."

Right to Work?

How ‘bout the right to the necessities of life? The right to material security, healthcare, food, housing, and free time?

How about the right to not have your existence constantly challenged or threatened?

#RightToWork #union #strike #directaction #solidarity #wages #workingconditions #transrightsarehumanrights #immigrants #MutualAid

Man at a computer. Reads: The ultimate goal of Right to Work" is to break unions so businesses can lower pay and benefits to workers. It has nothing to do with your right to work.

YouTube creator criticizes himself for harsh working conditions

In the wake of the Mr. Beast controversy about harsh working conditions, a whistleblower came forth with revelations that the YouTube creator called Your Autistic Life has created a toxic work environment for his worker. He explains, “My boss keeps pushing me to work work work all the time. It is insane. He also makes homophobic statements.”

We reached to Your Autistic Life for comments. Here is what he had to say, “I have only one employee working on my videos. So I know who this whistleblower is. It is true that I push myself to work like a madman, but what else can I do when I’m my only employee. Also, those accusations of homophobia are categorically false, however. I’m queer myself!”

Your Autistic Life is considering all options, including suing himself for workplace violations, and countersuing for defamation. We’ll keep you posted with the details as they emerge.
