Page 1. ---- Are to Face Court on Friday on Charges of Trespassing ---- TWO BADLY HURT ==== Sarnia Quiet After Riot 1,000 Panes of Glass Were Shattered -- SARNIA, March 4 - (CP) - With only two out of seven men, still in general hospital, reported in a serious condition and production resumed at the Holmes Foundry Company, scene of a clash between non-strikers and "sit-down" strikers yesterday, Sarnia today was getting back to normal routine. The outcome of the fight in and around the foundry was the eviction of the "sit-downers" by the men who desired to continue work. Badly Hurt Condition of Mike Pipliki and Peter Tomko, two participants in the struggle, was causing concern. Tomko has a fractured spine, pelvis, ankle and wrat. "As good as can be ex ported was the word of attending physicians, Pipliki, with a skull frac tam, is in "fair condition." Perey Archer, reported to be seriously injured yesterday, today was officially said to be suffering from cuts about the body and legs.

Here is one of the casualties being carried from the scene of action as the battle raged. Thirty-one strikers were booked at police headquarters following the fray. There was a possibility that three the injured might die.

i’m still thinking about how that one uksies performance, by including oscar and morris’ actors, gave us a glimpse of the delanceys as part of the strike

Also note the “up to”. Technically, you could be paid nothing at all, and it would still be accurate advertising as long as one role (the one with the most work) paid the $180.

Wow that was FAST. Check out this YouTube ad I just got trying to hire scabs immediately.

The fact that they're advertising it as hourly pay is so telling that they're hoping to just hire random people off the street. They're trying to prey on desperate actors who don't know that $180/hr for a fucking GODZILLA movie is the hugest rip off anyone could possibly pull. No rights, royalties or residuals but hey at least you'll get paid fucking nothing!

the instant our big, federal postal carriers perish (in whatever country), that's when costs to ship things will skyrocket. UPS, FedEx, and their ilk will no longer have to compete with USPS and Canada Post, and they'll no longer get to ship subsidized mail cheaply through those services, so they'll jack up prices as high as they can get away with

then we'll see how much supporting postal carrier services saves us. but it'll be too late

Canada Post said Friday its financial situation is so grim it could run out of operating funds in less than a year, after the Crown corporation posted another whopping pre-tax loss of $748 million in 2023.

In its annual report released late Friday afternoon, the company predicts "larger, unsustainable losses in future years" without major changes to its operating model.

"Even with Canada Post's recently proposed stamp price increase, the Corporation projects that, without additional borrowing and refinancing, it will fall below its required operating and reserve cash requirements by early 2025," the report says.

Canada Post has been losing money since 2018. In the last six years, its losses have totalled $3 billion. [...]

"Scrambled Eggs and Tear Gas Used in Milk War," Kingston Whig-Standard. May 23, 1933. Page 11. --- Direct action seems to be the dominant note in the Wisconsin dairy-farmer's strike, if these pictures count for anything. Lower is an egg truck upped over by strike pickets in the highway near Milwaukee. Upper photo shows U. 8. National Guardsmen, gas-masked and armed with billies, pursuing strikers they routed with tear gas bombs after they had foiled an attempt to hold up a milk truck.

Raine Wright yells into his megaphone as men in neon yellow jackets circle around a chain-link gate outside an East Vancouver industrial yard. They’re members of United Steelworkers Local 1944, some of the roughly 300 technicians who have been locked out by telecom giant Rogers after contract talks broke down and the union announced it would launch rotating strikes. But his workplace is still running, as Rogers has hired dozens of replacement workers to keep up with the work. The union’s response? Forming human walls to hold up the trucks.
