As multiple work stoppages continued across the United States, Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania on Thursday introduced legislation that would enable striking workers to qualify for federal food aid.

Called the Food Secure Strikers Act of 2023, Fetterman's bill would amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to ensure that striking workers aren't excluded from receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. In addition, the bill would preserve food stamp eligibility for public sector workers who are fired for striking and clarify that any income-eligible household is entitled to SNAP benefits even if a member of that household is on strike.

"Every union worker who is walking the picket line this summer needs to know that we have their back here in Washington," Fetterman said in a statement. "The union way of life is sacred. It's what built Pennsylvania and this nation. It is critical for us to protect workers' right to organize, and that includes making sure they and their families have the resources to support themselves while on strike."

"As chair of the Nutrition Subcommittee and an advocate for the union way of life, this bill is just plain common sense," he added. "I'm proud to introduce this bill that will eliminate the need for workers to choose between fighting for fair working conditions and putting food on the table for their families."

Workers typically forgo pay when they exercise their right to walk off the job in pursuit of higher wages and better conditions. Although union strike funds sometimes provide workers on the picket line with a stipend, it is less than their regular income.

Under existing law, striking workers and their households are ineligible to receive SNAP benefits unless they already qualified for food stamps prior to withholding their labor. This gives employers significant leverage over employees who can only endure economic hardship for so long. By repealing the current restriction on striking workers securing SNAP benefits, Fetterman's bill would help restore some balance to the struggle between capital and labor.

"It's good to see lawmakers attempting to correct the wrongs of the past by reinstating a benefit for striking workers that never should have been taken away in the first place," said International Brotherhood of Teamsters president Sean O'Brien. "Congress should never pass laws that punish American workers and hopefully this amendment is a repudiation of that practice."

O'Brien spent the past several weeks preparing 340,000 United Parcel Service (UPS) warehouse workers and delivery drivers for what would have been the second-largest work stoppage at a single employer in U.S. history, trailing only a 1970 strike of 400,000 General Motors workers. Although a UPS strike has likely been averted after the logistics giant and the Teamsters reached a tentative five-year contract agreement on Tuesday, Fetterman's proposal comes amid a nationwide wave of ongoing and potential labor actions.

"The United Auto Workers have mirrored the Teamsters' militant stance, blasting CEOs ahead of their own contract negotiations slated for later this year," The Intercept reported Thursday. "And the truckers union has staged trainings in dozens of cities for a strike that could shut down shipping from coast to coast. In California, meanwhile, thousands of hotel workers organized with Unite Here are already on strike, along with tens of thousands of Hollywood writers and actors belonging to the Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA, respectively."

The walkout of 160,000 writers and actors, who are fighting for improved remuneration and attempting to safeguard unionized jobs threatened by artificial intelligence-induced automation, is perhaps the most well-known of the current strikes.

Earlier this month, an anonymous studio executive admitted to Deadline that "the endgame is to allow things to drag on until union members start losing their apartments and losing their houses," drawing widespread condemnation, including from star actor Ron Perlman.

The Food Secure Strikers Act is designed to counteract the delay tactics that bosses rely on to crush workers.

"Workers who make the difficult decision to go on strike are coming together to lift the standard of living and gain more respect for all working people," said Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association (NEA). "They are prepared to make sacrifices—but going hungry should not be one of them. The Food Secure Strikers Act of 2023 will help ensure that when striking workers stand in solidarity for better working conditions and wages they can receive SNAP benefits so they don't put themselves and their families at risk."

The legislation is co-sponsored by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and 10 Senate Democrats, including Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), and Ron Wyden (Ore.). A companion bill was unveiled in the House by Democratic Reps. Alma Adams (N.C.) and Greg Casar (Texas).

It is also endorsed by numerous unions and anti-hunger organizations, including the Teamsters, NEA, the United Food and Commercial Workers, the Communications Workers of America, the Food Research Action Center, and Hunger-Free America.

"We need to get rid of the anti-union provisions in our code that starve striking workers," said Casar. "We're seeing workers exercise their rights across the country by going on strike to demand better wages and working conditions. That's why our bill, the Food Secure Strikers Act, is more important now than ever. We need to stop starving strikers, and ensure all working families are able to make ends meet."

"There is no video of Hamas beheading a baby, so the entire world has to talk about it for months.

There is video of a far-right extremist in Pennsylvania beheading a federal employee who was his father, so we cannot ever talk about it.

Don’t question why, we’re journalists. We create context."

"GIRLS PLOW AND GROW STRONG ON THIS FARM," Toronto Star November 11, 1913. Page 5. ---- Introduced to Velvet Side of Hoe at 5 a.m. to Take Hysteria From the Cabbage. --- THE SLEIGHTON FARM ---- President Makes Some Comments on the Recent Anti-Suffrage Address by Mrs. George. ---- "We will solve the hired man problem by having hired women," said Mг. Findlay, superintendent of the Ontario Prison Farm, in the course of a brief address to the Equal Franchise League in Margaret Eaton School last evening. The address followed an exhibition of views illustrating the Sleighton Farm for Delinquent Girls of Pennsylvania, which were to have been shown by Mrs. Falconer, the superintendent. Regrets were received from Mrs. Falconer, that inasmuch as some German commissioners on a tour of inspection were visiting her farm, she was unable to leave on the date arranged.

The pictures, however, were a lecture in themselves, and at the same time a prod to the slowly wakening Ontario, as to the sane method dealing with delinquent girls. of Girls plowed with horses and real plows: they stood up on hay rows with knickerbockered gymnasium suits and tossed hay with forks, they fussed up big beds of cabbages, fed small pigs, which insisted on climbing into the pails headfirst; they sewed and ironed, and baked broad which rose in pans before the eyes of the camera. They had a baseball team and diamond, with rooters attached; gala days when the corn husking time arrived, and each group of girls adopts a different costume: a prize being won by the most artistic. And in the corners of the snake fences each girl has made her own small garden, which in its rivalry is so fearfully tidy that a worm would wipe its feet carefully on a burdock before entering.

Honor Cottages. The buildings are artistic stone cottages with large colonial verandahs and vines, wherever a vine can cling. There is the Reception Cottage, in which the new girls live for the first three months of their stay. They ar- rive with hot rebellion in their eyes, and an empty, hysterical longing for the artificial life from which they have been torn. Here they learn to settle their wings quietly down and rest, until they are in condition to be promoted to an "Honor Cottage."

Each cottage is a unit, self-governing and self-sufficient. This system provides the necessary rivalry, from ball-teams to fattest chickens, and lightest bread. The girls in the Honor Cottages are allowed a great deal of freedom, which they seldom abuse. When a girl has repeatedly abused her freedom, she is for the time being ostracizer, which is most effective. Since its inception some ten years ago, 6.000 girls have passed through the training, and except in a few instances, they are living good and useful lives, some loving their foster home to the extent of bringing their prospective husbands to the superintendent for Inspection.

Mr. Findlay told of his intense indignation when traveling through Normandy, to see women home from the fields with coming heavy farming instruments, until a native of the country asked him to compare the health of body and mind of our own girls who spend their days in factories.

Hysterical Cabbages. "Farm life is a great cure for hysteria," he added. "To be roused by the fey, uncompromising voice of the alarm clock at five in the morning, Introduced to the soft, velvet side of a hoe, and told to go out and take the hysteria out of some cabbage patch. I tell you, the tight skirts our girls are wearing wouldn't have much show with those Norwegian women, but when you think of the old Greek models, those same Norwegians have all the honors coming to them."

Mr. Findlay was applauded by all the Equal Franchisers when he announced that the purchase of a jail farm for women in Ontario was to be completed as soon as he had selected the site, for which he had been looking that afternoon.

"One of my men out at the farm was sitting on the step after his day's work." he related, "looking out over the fields, and he remarked, It's all right for us men, but they should get a place like this for the women back there."

Hitting the Antis. In opening the meeting, Mrs. L. A. Hamilton, president of the league, commented briefly on the address given recently by Mrs. George before the Anti-Suffrage Association.

"Mrs. George's address was destructive," said Mrs. Hamilton, "and not at all constructive, I fear she is not only anti-suffrage, but anti-social. The great motif of the suffrage movement is its intense loyalty to other women. We regret that Mrs. George cast a slur on policewomen. We regret it on account of our common womanhood, and on account of Mrs. Alice Stebbins-Wells. We also regret it on account of our own policewomen who are present, but are too modest to come to the platform."

Commissioner Starr, of the Juvenile Court, closed the meeting with a few instances of the men who had returned to thank the authorities for the chance given them to recover lost manhood when sent to the prison farm. "What is good for men is good for women, and what is good for men and women is good for boys and girls," he concluded.

777 Movies In A Year?

Neal Pollard On July 5, 2023, Zach Swope’s set a Guinness World Record by watching 777 movies. The 32-year-old man did it for a cause, to raise awareness about autism and suicide awareness. He did it at a cost, even though he had an unlimited membership that allowed him to watch all these movies for $22 per month. After all, consider the time expended. He saw several movies multiple times to…
