50 years ago today began the Poor People’s Campaign, a 6-week occupation of Washington Mall. It was conceived by Martin Luther King, who saw it as the next stage in the fight for civil rights, a chance to unite the working class of all races. He was assassinated in April, a month earlier.

I got fired on my 5th day at this job bc a customer kept screaming at me bc I gave him his exact change back. I was so stressed out I was the only team member working, I blacked out and called him a dumbass

I'm 18. I started this new job about a week ago. Yesterday was my 5th day there. The 2nd manager just called me saying a “customer called me very irate, Emily the other manager told me what had happend yesterday.” I have treated every other customer nicly (as you should) but I told this guy sorry I'm new and still don't really know how to use the register as well and still am learning all the different terms/ words for the foods here. Bc he was ordering so fast i couldn't even put his order number in first. At my other job (before this one) I never did register I was always doing dishes and trash and occassionally making food. I'm not dumb, I just don't understand registers and when I'm super stressed out I cannot think. Idk if i have some “type” of ptsd. When teachers yell non stop…

My work uses an unreliable shift management app. Today an email with a news article was circulated by management.

We’re having a launch party tomorrow, and since we’re all remote now, work sent “a” margarita. At least we got tequila.

Why an employee needs time off is none of your business. Stop asking.

A labor movement isn’t enough by a long shot. A revolution, with forcible overthrow of the current order, is the only way.

The Federal Reserve is coercing businesses to enact a hiring freeze in order to break wages, and if business don't comply and continue hiring, the Federal Reserve will continue to hike interest rates. This is brutal class warfare and we must join the fight or perish. A mere labor movement isn't enough, unless it's the sort of labor movement that pushes to put all governmental powers in the hands of labor. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-the-fed-wants-corporate-america-to-have-a-hiring-freeze-morning-brief-100055174.html Edited for typos
