Sabocat

Hej! Jag har hört att katten på bilden - http://img.search.com/thumb/d/d2/Sab...px-Sabcat2.gif kallas "Sabocat". Jag har dessutom hört att det skulle vara en syndikalistisk symbol. Stämmer detta? Hur uppkom den? När uppkom den?

Från Industrial Workers of the Worlds hemsida:

The image of a black cat arching it’s back, sometimes referred to as ’sabocat’, was utilized by organized labor to represent the prospect of sabotage. Ralph Chaplin, a labor activist and anarcho-syndicalist, created the image while working with the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Chaplin intended for employees to place the image around their respective workplaces as a symbolic threat to unethical and unrepentant bosses.

Sabotage eventually was defined as any withdrawal of efficiency — including a work slowdown, strike, or creative bungling of job assignments. These tactics of sabotage were also referred to as “wildcat strikes” — strike actions taken without authorization by union officials. Non-violent in their execution, these tactics were a powerful tool for the radical labor movement and are still practiced today.

Det där är ju Tudors (batteritillverkaren) logga ju...

Edit: mja, nästan, men tillräckligt nära för att vara varumärkesintrång tycker jag....
