Today in Labor History April 19, 1911: More than 6,000 immigrant workers began the Great Furniture Strike in Grand Rapids, Michigan. By the late 1800s, Grand Rapids had become the furniture making capital of the U.S. In 1890, the city had about 90,000 residents, 33,000 of whom were recent immigrants. And 4,000 of them worked in the city’s 85 furniture factories. By 1910, the industry employed over 7,000 workers. Most worked six 10-hour shifts for less than $2 a day, or about $45 in today’s dollars. One of the owners, Harry Widdicomb, tried to drive scabs to his factory, right through the crowd of strikers. They pelted his car with rocks and bricks. Police beat people with clubs and firefighters fought them back with hoses. But by evening, they had busted every window in his factory.

We are loving this story of readers in Michigan coming together to help their beloved community bookshop move premises https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/17/book-brigade-us-town-forms-human-chain-to-move-9100-books-one-by-one
And, of course, it's reminding us of our own wonderful regulars who formed a human chain to help us move into our new bookshop back in August.
Here's a lovely good news story:
Residents of all ages in a small Michigan community formed a human chain and helped a local bookshop move each of its 9,100 books – one by one – to a new storefront about a block away.
I was born in Lansing, Michigan in 1953. My family moved away from Michigan when I was only a few months old so I don't have any memories. Recently, I needed to obtain a 2nd certified copy of my birth certificate.
I would like to recognize the people at the Eaton County clerk's office and the Ingham County clerk's office for helping me. Each person I've spoken to by phone and email has been pleasant and helpful.
They won't see this post, but I want to thank them anyway.
Hey #michigan folks: word is that the U.S. Army Corps is gonna fast-track the approval of Enbridge’s dangerous Line 5 oil tunnel without a full environmental review. The federal government excuse is that we’re in a “energy emergency.” Funny enough, that’s the same federal government that announced last month that the US is now the biggest oil exporter in the world ever. I don’t deny we have an energy emergency, I just don’t think our problem is not enough oil.
IMHO #AbdulElSayed is off to a pretty good start. cc: @abdulelsayed #USPol #Michigan #Vote2026 #Democrats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTv3qKpqyE0
