May 1 is national workers days in some areas. But most of us don’t even make minimum wage, let alone a living wage. Many of our states are right to work states and support corporations more than they support the workers. We are not getting good health insurance, we hardly get any vacation. And if Something Happens, there’s no one there to advocate for an employee. These big companies should all have union representation. Every single one of their employees should be covered. And corporate profits should go directly to employees. Many of these organizations should not have multi billion dollar profit Martians and they’re lowest paid workers barely making enough to get by.
This list is not exhaustive, and we all have our reasons, but mostly we do not have the kind of rights in the United States that other employees are afforded elsewhere. Most of us are two weeks or less from broke.
How can we make this an event? Because I’m tired. I’m just tired.
