Today in Labor History July 31, 1970: British sailors were given their very last officially sanctioned ration of rum. Black Tot Day took away from sailors one of the very few remaining benefits of the job. The lash has never been formally abolished. And sodomy was never officially permitted…. But it no doubt persists. #workingclass #LaborHistory #sailor #british #rum #sodomy #lash #workplacesafety #pogues #lgbtq
