The only reason your boss continues to pay a sub living wage is because they believe they have the power.
That is wrong, you are the laborer, you are the producer, you make the economy run.
Organize with your coworkers and ask for a better standard of living.
No one can afford a day off, a vacation, a home, a child.
This wage slavery needs to end.
P.S. If your are allowed to talk baseball or sports, you are allowed to talk about Unions and are Federal Protected from reprisal for talking unionization.
