On this day, 1 April 1986, then-member of the revolutionary Industrial Workers of the World union, Matt Damon, was arrested by police while picketing in support of locked out News International print workers in Wapping, London. He had been in the country filming a commercial for a popular British snack called “Hobnobs”. Subsequently charged with assaulting police he skipped bail and returned to the United States, hence why he has not since returned to the UK. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1389669901218156/?type=3

USPS Suspends Friday Kitten Delivery

Bad news, kitten fans. The United States Postal Service has announced that, due to budgetary constraints, it will be forced to cease Friday kitten deliveries beginning in August. The USPS ended Saturday cat delivery in 2012.

"This is a really sad day for the USPS and for the efficient delivery of kittens," said USPS historian Jaques Moutan. "A fully functioning feline delivery system is a vital necessity for a modern society, and I’m not sure that any of us will benefit from privatization."

The USPS began cat deliveries in 1974 and added Saturday service to cope with demand during the kitten boom of mid-1980s. Demand remained steady throughout the next decade, spiking again with the arrival of e-commerce. But recent supply chain advances have enabled private carriers like DHL and FedEx to offer kitten delivery at better prices than the USPS.

Monday through Thursday kitten delivery will remain unaffected, but a spokesperson for the Postal Service told The Fluffington Post that more restructuring may be on the way next year.
