Jewish Labor Cmtte

See Andrew Sperling's article tinyurl.com/p66ywr52 While most major institutions of American labor were decidedly anti-fascist in the 1930s, the Jewish Labor Committee (JLC) and Jewish labor unions held a special interest in anti-Nazi organizing.

@romanbold @Shallabal10 Poster by Mitchell Loeb, different editions, by the Jewish Labor Committee, the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union, the Labor Chest to Combat Nazism and Fascism, and others made use of it in outreach campaigns. See jewishlaborcommittee.org/Labor%20and%20…

@Shallabal10 također Poster prikazuje radnika koji se bori protiv zmije koja predstavlja fašizam i hitlerizam, a objavljen je u sklopu kampanje Židovskog radničkog odbora (Jewish Labor Committee) za prikupljanje sredstava za one koji bježe od nacističke Njemačke.

Prvi poznati primjer korištenja zmije kao simbola fašizma u propagandnim posterima dolazi iz Sjedinjenih Američkih Država, gdje je ilustrator Mitchell Loeb dizajnirao poster približno 1934. godine.

JLC yesterday joined 12 national Jewish organizations representing a diverse Jewish community to express our deep concern about the nomination of Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel, in a letter to Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

Temps were nearing 90° when this picture was taken at a field on CAs Central Coast. The leeks crew was focusing on finishing the days harvest. #WeFeedYou

This #publicservicerecognitionweek, @AFGEPrezKelley has a special message for every patriotic American serving their country in the government who've been under unprecedented assault. We see you, and we appreciate what you do for our nation!

"Just two years ago, when our union ratified a new national contract with UPS, it looked like management finally came to its senses. As part of our deal, the company agreed to start putting A/C and ventilation systems in our trucks. For me and my fellow Teamsters, it felt like our prayers were answered. Finally, we wouldn't have to spend more summers worrying about whether we would make it home safe to our families. UPS is intentionally refusing to live up to the promises they made in our contract. The way they treat us, it's like they forget we're human. While they continue to disrespect us, hundreds of thousands of UPS Teamsters are ready to fight for what we're owed."

A recent survey shows that registered voters oppose Postal Service privatization by an overwhelming 34-point margin. The public is overwhelmingly on our side across partisan, demographic, and geographic lines. #USMailNotforSale apwu.org/news/recent-po…

Private shippers have been wanting to get USPS out of parcel delivery for years. We say #HellNo to handing them the keys! The Postal Service is for the people, and we’ll #FightLikeHell to protect the universal service all Americans rely on! 🔗 nalc.org/news/nalc-upda…

We recently noted that the JLC has a useful reading list on the American Jewish Labor Movement, at tinyurl.com/JLM-ReadingList We ALSO have a useful reading list on Traditional Jewish texts on Labor and Worker Rights, at tinyurl.com/TradeJewishTex… Feel free to share with others!
