Today in Southern Labor History in 1938, the Fair Labor Standards Act became law, setting the first federal minimum wage (25¢!), creating overtime pay, a 40-hour workweek, and banning child labor. But it also left out millions of Black and Brown workers — farmworkers, domestic workers, and tipped workers — excluded by design to preserve Jim Crow’s racist economy. The FLSA shows us how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go. We’re still fighting for fair wages and dignity for every worker

Today in Southern labor history, we remember the founding of the Brotherhood of Timber Workers in December of 1910. At its height, membership of the Brotherhood of Timber Workers reached up to 35,000 workers about half of whom were Black. Despite being in the Jim Crow South, the union was open to workers of all races. Later in 1912, the union officially merged with the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and accepted women as members, too. Whether you’re a lumberjack or a Waffle House worker,

Early 1900s Italian pensions covered industrial and government workers. Factory workers with certain employee counts qualified. Government service qualified. Agricultural laborers and small farmers, where most Southerners worked, didn’t qualify. The system designed around Northern industrial structures, not Southern agricultural ones. Northern factory workers retired with pensions. Southern farmers worked until physically unable, then depended on family. This was structural exclusion, not oversi
