Starting May 1st (Internationals Worker’s Day!) and continuing until demands are met, r/MayDayStrike general strike will be happening.
Please read their FAQ here www.maydaystrike.org/faq They can help with resources as well if you go to their resources tab, and you can find mutual aid near you to help you be more able to strike. (If you are able, please also donate your time, skills, or money to mutual aid efforts during this time especially!)
The demands of the movement are:
-
A living wage that adjusts regularly for inflation and mandatory overtime pay.
-
Paid time off for vacations, medical leave, parental leave, and bereavement.
-
Expanded legal protections for unions, including the universal right to unionize.
-
A universal, single payer healthcare system and medical debt forgiveness.
-
Tuition-free higher education and student loan debt forgiveness.
Not enough people know about this, and I don’t think many of you AntiWork-ers know about it either. We can make this happen. Let’s make it happen.
Antiwork makes front page from time to time.. let’s make MayDayStrike front page now! Please share and get this as far and wide as possible.
If you are able, hunker down for a while, help your fellow humans during this time, get help from others, and strike!
We can do this!!!
