Some businesses, though, would rather have as little regulation as
possible, which is fine for their profits, but not good for their
workers or the communities where they operate, since those are the
businesses that we clean up after when they leave behind one or
another kind of mess.

RE: THE MANHATTAN PROJECT SCIENTIST WHO QUIT  

To your post about Joseph Rotblat, "The Manhattan Scientist Who Quit,"
should be added this important revelation, which is especially
important but was omitted from the new motion picture Oppenheimer:

In his article "Leaving the Atomic Bomb" in the August 1985 _Bulletin
of the Atomic Scientists_, Rotblat wrote,

“In March 1944 I experienced a disagreeable shock. At that time I
was living with the Chadwicks in their house on the Mesa, before
moving later to the ‘Big House,’ the quarters for single
scientists. General Leslie Groves, when visiting Los Alamos,
frequently came to the Chadwicks for dinner and relaxed palaver.
During one such conversation Groves said that, of course, the real
purpose in making the bomb was to subdue the Soviets. (Whatever his
exact words, the meaning was clear.) Although I had no illusions about
the Stalin regime—after all, it was his pact with Hitler that
enabled the latter to invade Poland—I felt deeply the sense of
betrayal of an ally. Remember, this was said at a time when thousands
of Russians were dying every day on the Eastern Front, tying down the
Germans and giving the allies time to prepare for landing on the
continent of Europe. Until then I had thought that our work was to
prevent a Nazi victory, and now I was told that the weapon we were
preparing was intended for use against the people who were making
extreme sacrifices for that very aim.”

RE: CHICAGO HAS A PENSION CRISIS, BUT IT’S NOT PROGRESSIVES’ FAULT
 

Dean Baker left out the fact that public workers were covered by
Social Security in 1953. All public governments were allowed to "opt
in "the system. Many public employers opted in but some did not.
Please correct this item!

STRIKING BACK  --  CARTOON BY JEN SORENSEN  

This week’s comic was largely inspired by Disney CEO Bob Iger’s
comments on the writers’ strike during a lengthy interview on CNBC
last week. He absolutely stepped in it when the subject of the WGA
came up, calling the strike “very disturbing” and “very
disruptive.” What wasn’t mentioned in the conversation is that
Iger stands to make some $54 million over the next two years while
writing and acting jobs have been so degraded that they’re no longer
sustainable. Residuals from streaming are often miniscule, with
payments in the pennies. Media companies are deleting their own shows
from streaming platforms so they no longer have to pay residuals at
all. The amount of spec work has grown, leaving writers without income
for long periods of time, sometimes never to be paid a cent. The fact
is, it’s not the creators who are the aggressors here. To the extent
that they are being “disruptive,” they are responding to how their
jobs have been destroyed.

RE: VAST MAJORITY OF HOUSE DEMS BACK GOP RESOLUTION SAYING ISRAEL
ISN’T AN APARTHEID STATE  

I'm too furious to even write a response to the I-P vote in Congress.

It's time to recognize that we recommend to battered women that it's
time to get out of the relationship and take a chance it could get
better. If you don't get out, it just gets worse.

Let's face it. If Biden had (what he called) "megotiation" to a debt
ceiling Bill, who would have lost the most? Not the "have nots" who
were the only ones to lose anything more in the deal when they had
little left to lose. The "haves" who lost nothing in the deal, but
actually won additional benefits would have been the big losers if the
economic system fell apart. So, the "have nots" contributed to keep
the "haves" happy.

It is the same with I-P. Biden never even mentioned not sending the
more than $10M/day ($3.6 Billion /year) we give to Israel to commit
genocide against Palestinians, as a possible reduction in expenses.
That never comes up as a serious consideration. Just take more from
the Americans who have nothing. The Dems go along with it.

It's time to say "I'm outta here. I'm only voting my ethics from now
on, not the lesser of two evils." The "lesser" keeps getting worse and
worse as they just encourage the "morer" to keep getting worse. The
only way to start going up will be to hit rock bottom. Let everyone
lose equally. The "more thans" have more to lose.

RE: HOLLYWOOD ON THE PICKET LINE – 5 UNSUNG FILMS THAT PUT
AMERICA’S UNION HISTORY ON THE SILVER SCREEN AND TIDBITS – JULY
20, 2023 – READER COMMENTS: HOLLYWOOD LABOR FILMS; 

Ethan Young: The original version of my article had 10 films, but it
was cut for length. The 5 films that were cut included "The Killing
Floor," "Matewan," "Blue Collar," and two non-American films, "The
Organizer" (Italian) and "Pride" (UK). If I could have added still one
more, it would be "The Garment Jungle," a 1950s film that doesn't get
much attention but is a film noir about garment workers fighting
against the a corrupt boss who hires thugs to intimidate the workers.
I didn't include any documentaries on my list, there are many great
pro-union documentaries.

RE: HOW JEREMY CORBYN WAS TOPPLED BY THE ISRAEL LOBBY

(posting on xxxxxx Culture
[[link removed]])
 

Asa Winstanley is not just a long standing opponent of Israeli
policies, he is also someone who has a long history of antisemitism on
his record.  This book is just an extended example.  His use of
"Israel Lobby"  is simply a euphemism for "Jewish conspiracy" and his
thesis is that British Jews, many of whom were lifelong socialists,
conspired to bring down Jeremy Corbyn only because they opposed his
pro-Palestinian politics and his socialism--and not because they could
possibly be concerned about the noteable (and by now well documented)
explosion of antisemitic incidents in the Labour Party after he became
party leader.

For Winstanley and his like, the Jews are always lying if they point
out antisemitism on the part of anyone on the left because no real
leftist could possibly be antisemitic and because the Jews are always
liars (an ancient anti-Jewish theme with deep roots in Christian
antisemitism). That Mondoweiss is enthusiastic about this book is no
surprise, but that xxxxxx reproduces this praise for it uncritically
is disappointing.  A more critical review should be in order.

REMEMBERING MELANIE KAYE/KANTROWITZ  

[[link removed]]

On July 11th a tribute was held in NYC to remember and celebrate the
work of Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz who had died five years earlier. A
prolific writer, over the course of a lifetime of activism, artistic
work and teaching Melanie wrote poetry, fiction and analytical
material. Her fervent, lifelong anti-racist activism grounded all of
her work, and her articulation of Diasporism as a conscious
alternative to Zionism has had a deep impact in the Jewish left.
Melanie's work on gender and sexuality has touched the lives of women
since the early 1970s.

Reading from her varied work, Leslie Cagan, Barbara Smith, Esther
Kaplan, Aurora Levins Morales, Jenny Romaine, Kathy Engel, Roni Natov,
Alisa Solomon, Chandra Talpade Mohanty, Helena Lipstadt and Megan
Madison brought energy and excitement to the material - bringing it to
life and reminding us of the powerful artistic and intellectual
contributions Melanie made to our movements for social change, and to
everyone she and her work touched.

SAG-AFTRA ON STRIKE! — POSTER OF THE WEEK  (CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF
POLITICAL GRAPHICS)

 

SAG-AFTRA On Strike!
Michael Gurka, Andrea Lang
Printing: Harman Press
Offset, 1980
Los Angeles, CA
11294

Last Friday, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television
and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) went on strike, uniting with the
two-month-old strike by the Writers Guild of America (WGA). This is
the first joint strike between writers and actors in 63 years, and is
a powerful demonstration of solidarity, as the two unions come
together to secure improved contracts in the face of significant
opposition from the studios.

The historical significance becomes apparent when looking at the
successful joint strike of 1960. Actors and writers went on strike in
response to the rise of reruns on television, demanding to be paid for
this new production and distribution model. This resulted in the
establishment of enhanced residual payments, health insurance plans,
and pension funds. Additionally, the 1980 SAG-AFTRA strike—which
produced the poster of the week— is a notable milestone where
negotiations were conducted to improve profit sharing arrangements
during the rise of the home video cassette market.

The current SAG-AFTRA strike's purpose is to secure improved working
conditions and enhanced compensation for its members. The key areas of
concern are fairer wages, improved residual payments, better
healthcare benefits, and increased job security. Actors and performers
are determined to address the evolving landscape of the entertainment
industry, which has experienced significant transformations due to the
growing dominance of streaming platforms and the emergence of AI
technology.

Common misconceptions regarding fair compensation for actors are often
based on A-List actors who receive substantial pay. However, the
primary focus of this strike is to lend support to the non-A-list
actors, many of whom encounter significant financial challenges. These
actors are grappling with the difficulties of making ends meet, and it
is crucial for us to stand in solidarity with them, championing their
cause and advocating for improved contracts that will empower them to
sustain their livelihoods in the entertainment industry.

VIRTUAL PANEL DISCUSSION: THE FORGOTTEN HISTORY OF THE MARCH FOR JOBS
AND FREEDOM - AUGUST 2, 2023  (CENTER FOR ECONOMIC AND POLICY
RESEARCH)

The Relevance of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom Today: A
Commemoration of the 60th Anniversary of the March

August 28, 2023, will mark the 60th anniversary of the March on
Washington for Jobs and Freedom. It is often forgotten that Dr.
King’s dream was not only to have legal civil rights for African
Americans but also economic justice for _all_ poor, marginalized
groups in the United States.

One of the demands of that march was for “[a] massive federal
program to train and place all unemployed workers — Negro and white
— on meaningful and dignified jobs at decent wages.” 

As the historian Michael K. Honey states, in the last year of King’s
life:

_He sought an Economic Bill of Rights for Native Americans, Mexican
Americans, Puerto Ricans, and poorer whites, as well as for blacks. He
sought to create a nonviolent army of poor people in jobless inner
cities and barrios and in reservation and rural areas. He challenged
the country to create an economy of full employment._

Six decades have passed since that historic convening, and chronic
joblessness remains as much a problem today as it was then. Even as
the national economy booms, pockets of high joblessness persist all
across America. Additionally, many of our nation’s civil rights
victories are under threat or are being overturned. Now is the time to
renew and rejuvenate our commitment to jobs and freedom. 

The Full Employment for All coalition
[[link removed]] has organized four-panel
discussions on jobs and freedom throughout August. The panels will
draw lessons from the past and gather insights from the present to
help the country move toward a better future for all people,
regardless of race.

[[link removed]]

Sixty years ago this summer, hundreds of thousands of Americans
convened in Washington, DC to advocate for civil and economic rights
for all. While best known for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s iconic
“I Have a Dream Speech,” the March on Washington for Jobs and
Freedom originally positioned securing employment for all as a central
rallying point.

While much has changed for Black families in America in the
intervening years, employment disparities remain a persistent problem.
On August 2, join some of the nation’s leading experts in a lively
historical discussion of the labor and economic roots of the march…
and its lessons for today.

This is the first in a four-part series of virtual panel discussions
for CEPR’s Commemoration of the 60th Anniversary of the March on
Washington for Jobs and Freedom throughout the month of August.

WILLIAM P. JONES is Professor of History at the University of
Minnesota, where he teaches and researches the history of race and
class in the United States. He has written for The New York Times,
Washington Post, The Nation and other publications, and is author of
The March on Washington: Jobs, Freedom and the Forgotten History of
Civil Rights.
