“The workers stayed in the plant instead of walking out, and this had clear
advantages: they were directly blocking the use of strikebreakers; they
did not have to act through union officials but were in direct control
of the situation themselves; they did not have to walk outside in the
cold and rain, but had shelter; they were not isolated, as in their work,
or on the picket line; they were thousands under one roof, free to
talk to one another, to form a community of struggle. Louis Adamic,
a labor writer, describes one of the early sit-downs:
Sitting by their machines, cauldrons, boilers and work benches, they talked.
Some realized for the first time how important they were in the process of
rubber production. Twelve men had practically stopped the works! . . . Superintendents, foremen, and straw bosses were dashing about. . . . In less than
an hour the dispute was settled, full victory for the men.”

“Some fail to bear in mind that everyone is sentenced to death. Death is a treacherous virus that strikes randomly. The only truth is that nobody is going to make it out alive. We are all living on probation and our expiry date is indefinite. ( “Living on probation” )”
