Rosina Tucker helped #railroadworkers organize the first Black-led labor union in America,
Maria Moreno fought for #farmworkers in the fields of California,
Ah Quon McElrath who united the #laborers of the vast sugarcane plantations,
Ben Fletcher, a #dockworker who organized a strong, interracial union that ran the ports of #Philadelphia,
Judy Heumann, #educationworker who became the mother of the #DisabilityRights Movement.

WOOHOO!
A tentative agreement has postponed the #Dockworker #strike until January 15th!
(my concern for what it could have done to the economy just before the election had me in deep fear.)
I'm so old I remember when an #OctoberSurprise was just one thing. Not 7 by the 3rd day:
- #Helene damage across multiple swing states
- War in the #middleast
- #JackSmith's 185-page #J6 #Immunity filing
- #JDVance's "damning non-answer" about #Trump's 2020 loss
- #US #Dockworker's strike
- #Melania's defense of #abortionrights
- #rfkjr blowing himself up repeatedly
And we've already moved on from #MarkRobinson and whatever came before last week.
@wdlindsy
I'm reasonably certain the #Dockworker #Strike... concentrated in the Red states and led by a union leader threatening to "cripple America" ahead of the election IS the #OctoberSurprise.
