The First International Syndicalist Congress was a meeting of European and Latin American syndicalist organizations at Holborn Town Hall in London that began on this day in 1913. The congress was attended by 38 delegates representing 65 organizations from Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Cuba, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, with a total membership between 220,000 and 250,000.

Despite being marked by heated disagreements over both tactics and principles, the Congress succeeded in creating the International Syndicalist Information Bureau as a vehicle of exchange and solidarity between the various organizations, and the "Bulletin international du mouvement syndicaliste" as a means of communication. It would be viewed as a success by almost all who participated.

    Being a cook would be a lot easier if I just had accurate information on how much shit to get ready instead of constantly being told to under prepare only for people to go "OH SHIT WE'RE OUT OF [THING]" when I literally asked if I should get an extra 20 pounds ready and was told no

    When it's 6:30, we're open for another 30 minutes, and we're out of fucking chicken fajita, idk what to fucking tell them when it's going to take me at least ten minutes just to slice more chicken thighs, onions and peppers, much less fucking cook it. I would much rather just plan on having leftovers, god damn
