"The successful defiance of a hotly contested piece of the Canada Labour Code has boosted hope for worker rights in the country, labour advocates say.

The union and its thousands of striking Air Canada flight attendants refused to go back to work after the federal government invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code.

As a result, Air Canada returned to the bargaining table, and overnight the two parties came to a tentative agreement that the 10,500 flight attendants in the union will soon be able to vote on.

"This is a big win for flight attendants that's going to force the federal government to re-evaluate how it intervenes in labour disputes going forward," said Larry Savage, a professor of labour studies at Brock University."

In refusing an order to go back to work after the federal government invoked a hotly contested provision of the Canada Labour Code, labour advocates say Air Canada's flight attendants sent a strong message about workers' rights in Canada.

Un día como hoy, el 21 de agosto de 1791, comenzó la revolución haitiana cuando los africanos esclavizados se levantaron en las plantaciones del norte de la entonces colonia francesa conocida como Santo Domingo.
El historiador CLR James explicó cómo las personas esclavizadas prepararon la revuelta: «El vudú fue el medio de la conspiración. A pesar de todas las prohibiciones, las personas esclavizadas viajaban kilómetros para cantar, bailar, practicar los ritos y hablar; y ahora, desde la revolución, para escuchar las noticias políticas y hacer sus planes».
Luego, una vez que comenzó la rebelión:
«Las personas esclavizadas destruyeron sin descanso. Al igual que los campesinos de la Jacquerie o los destructores luditas, buscaban su salvación de la manera más obvia, la destrucción de lo que sabían que era la causa de sus sufrimientos; y si destruyeron mucho fue porque habían sufrido mucho. Sabían que mientras esas plantaciones siguieran en pie, su destino sería trabajar en ellas hasta caer rendidos. Lo único que podían hacer era destruirlas. De sus amos habían conocido la violación, la tortura, la degradación y, a la menor provocación, la muerte. Ellos respondieron con la misma moneda».
Durante los siguientes 13 años, los rebeldes acabarían derrocando la esclavitud y creando la primera república negra del mundo. Su ejército revolucionario también derrotó a las fuerzas coloniales españolas en lo que hoy es la República Dominicana, así como al ejército británico que acudió en ayuda de los colonialistas. Estados Unidos temía que la revolución se extendiera a las personas esclavizadas dentro de sus propias fronteras y se negó a reconocer la república, hasta que finalmente lo hizo en 1862.

On This Day In History (1947):

"On 22 August 1947, Chege Kibachia, leader of the Kenyan African Workers Federation, was arrested in Nakuru by British-controlled police amidst strikes and working class protests against a racist system of identity cards. Five days later, labour leader Makhan Singh was arrested as well.

Meanwhile, the President of the Kenya African Union, "independence" leader Jomo Kenyatta worked with the British Labour government and Trades Union Congress to bring over an "expert", James Patrick, to help the government establish pliant unions. Patrick advised the Kenyan government to set up unions dividing workers by trade, as purely workplace bodies with no political remit, to help improve productivity.

Kibachia was deported elsewhere in the country for a period of 10 years whereas Singh was deported to India.'
