In the UK, the tradition of apprenticeship goes back to the 1100's. In 1563, the Statute of Artificers and Apprentices was passed. This statute required that everyone had to serve a 7 year apprenticeship before practicing a trade or craft. The apprenticeship system in the UK was alive and kicking a little longer than in the US. After slavery was abolished in the UK and its colonies, an apprentice system was codified into law that required former slaves to work for their former owners for 75% of their 54+ hour workweek for 3 years.

Filled with optimism after flushing out 3 corporatists during the earliest days of the strike, you feel sure that the fourth time is the final charm.

Unfortunately, after searching Ircher's rooms, data files, and even his wallet, you find nothing incriminating.

Ircher was a labor activist from Britain, a

JOAT Union Member

Spoiler: Ircher's Role PM

Welcome, Ircher!

The situation for workers in Britain and for British workers in the EU have become dire since BREXIT. Not that workers had it great before BREXIT but now? Infinitely worse!. Strikes, protests, demonstrations, demands to re-enter the EU or hold another referendum have fallen on deaf ears. Meanwhile supply chain nightmares, empty grocery shelves, abysmal trade relations with the EU, wage deflation, and lost trade agreement leverage even with Commonwealth countries. What more can you do? Well, there's news of a worldwide general strike tearing across the world because workers everywhere have had enough. It's time to regroup, join hands with other labor activists, unions and movements around the globe and lift all workers into their rightful place among nations! Beware, though. There are rumors that Union Busters are working against you!

Proccessing night actions now...

You reopen Zoom and watch as people get in front of their cams, ready to pick up where you left off yesterday. One tile stays blank. You run through the expected participants and realize the activist from the Philippines is a no show. Something happened last night and you know it wasn't good.

Spoiler: lemon.tangerine's Role PM

Welcome, lemon.tangerine!

When Duterte was president of the Philippines the situation was dire for workers: Imperialist companies demanding cheap labor made it impossible to make progress on child labor abuses, Chinese workers flooded the country, contractual jobs were the new normal with employee jobs becoming a thing of the past. Not even to mention all the labor leaders and activists who'd been murdered. You had such high hopes when Bongbong Marcos was elected by a landslide. But, nothing has changed and you're ready to hit the streets once more. And what a great time to do this, when workers in every nation have called a general strike. Worker protections are a worldwide concern in this crazy global economy. It's time to regroup, join hands with other labor activists, unions and movements around the globe and lift all workers into their rightful place among nations! Beware, though. There are rumors that Union Busters are working against you!

[Doctor Drew]

Cabd, Maria, Hu, and Lap all visited Joyboy at some point this game

[Cabd]

Oh and....

Right now though I need to be talked down from worrying about HST and Dunn.

[Cabd]

Cabd, Maria, Hu, and Lap all visited Joyboy at some point this game

What are your thoughts of this? Mine was the hider n1 to clear him. Lemme track down the others.

[Bell]

Nope, not cleared.
As mentioned, my ability stops working after the second night.

[Cabd]

Yeah lights confo scum and we are just try Harding for the last one today before they get to shoot me.

Do you want a mass claim today?

I'm interested in what lemon_ganski and Laplacian did last night

I used a reloader on Joyboy, which would have recharged any ability he used last night. He said he was going to self doc before Sakura spoke up, so I was hoping he'd use that and then get another night to stay alive

Laplacian's visit claim.

[Bell]

Yeah, I did really want to dig down and get everybody's actions around the Ircher/Laplacian thing.
Someone had to have fucked up. somewhere in that mess.

The Hu one is throwing me off.....wouldn't that mean Hu tried to kill Joy N1?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

our safehouse was done at the end of yesterday

[Bell]

I wanna make sure I understood this. But Ircher did verify that they sent a gift to another player and they did receive receive that gift during the lightning rod day right?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i have no idea what kind of dastardly deeds bell could've been up to last night

[Cabd]

zzz

Did you get or do anything last night

Only possible thing I see where Hu mentioned Joyboy.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I am ready to go to Meowhalla with Bell

[Cabd]

Maria has no claim of using anything on Joyboy.

She needs to disclose that now.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I told Bell I was going to claim to townread him so the mafia might kill us but that was a total lie

he barely talked to me all night

i have no idea where he was during the hours of 11pm to 6am
