Today in Labor History February 6, 1919: The Seattle General Strike began. 65,000 workers participated. Longshoremen, trolley operators and bartenders also participated. The strike began in response to government sanctioned wage cuts. Both the AF of L and the IWW participated. During the strike, the workers formed councils, which took over virtually all major city services, including food distribution and security. They also continued garbage collection. Laundry workers continued to handle hospital laundry. And firefighters remained on duty. They established a system of food distribution, which provided 30,000 meals each day. Any exemption to the work stoppage had to be ok’d by the General Strike Committee. Army veterans created an independent police force to maintain order. The Labor War Veteran's Guard prohibited the use of force and didn’t carry weapons. The regular police made no arrests in any actions related to the strike. Overall, arrests dropped to less than half their normal number.
A pamphlet that was distributed during the strike said, “You are doomed to wage slavery till you die unless you wake up, realize that you and the boss have nothing in common, that the employing class must be overthrown, and that you, the workers, must take over the control of your jobs, and through them, the control over your lives instead of offering yourself up to the masters as a sacrifice six days a week, so that they may coin profits out of your sweat and toil."
The strike ended when they brought in federal troops and the workers were pressured to quit by bureaucrats from the national unions, particularly the AFL.

"A call for help triggered a chain of events that ended with the deportation of a mother and her U.S. citizen child. This is not public safety. This is a system that punishes families for seeking help and turns local #police into extensions of federal immigration enforcement." https://www.texasobserver.org/local-police-collaborate-ice-families/
…Lawyers from the section are traditionally on the ground within days, if not hours, after a high-profile #killing by #police.
The #DOJ has said there is no basis for a #CivilRights probe into the #ReneeGood #shooting. It has opened an investigation into #AlexPretti’s killing, but officials have downplayed its scope.
“I don't want the takeaway to be that there's some massive civil rights investigation that's happening,” DAG #ToddBlanche told reporters Friday.
…Former prosecutors who handled investigations of #police wrongdoing said their case loads dropped as #ExcessiveForce probes stalled last year.
The number of people charged with violating the #CivilRights #law most commonly used in federal excessive-force cases dropped about 36% last year to 54 total cases, the lowest number since 2020, according to a Reuters analysis of federal court dockets obtained from Westlaw.

The 7 former prosecutors in the section described an exodus of veteran #lawyers as the #Trump admin adopted what some called a selective approach to enforcing the #law, reining in investigations of perceived allies while encouraging probes of his adversaries.
“The idea of a system where every vulnerable group is not protected equally by the rule of law is not a system I can be a part of from the inside,” said Laura-Kate Bernstein, a former trial attorney who left the #DOJ in May.

The former #DOJ lawyers, most of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity because they feared retaliation, expressed doubts about the ability of the section to conduct thorough investigations into recent incidents, including the fatal #shootings of #ReneeGood & #AlexPretti by federal #immigration agents in #Minneapolis last month. The DOJ has said it is investigating Pretti’s killing but not Good’s.
